The Atlantic publishes a complete transcription of the chat messages of the Signal group of the Yemen attack plans
Given this testimony, Goldberg e The Atlantic They said they decided that the public should have had the right to see the material and decide.
“There is a clear public interest in disseminating the type of information that Trump Advisers included in unsafe communication channels, above all because the figures of the Senior Administration are trying to minimize the meaning of the messages that have been shared”, Goldberg and his colleague Shane Harris He wrote in the history of follow-up.
The magazine also asked national security agencies if they had objected to the published details. In an answer included in the article, the press secretary of the White House Karoline Leavitt reiterated that the information was not classified, but said that the administration discouraged and objected to its release.
Once the magazine published the details, the White House played their meaning and launched a full -blown attack on Goldberg and the magazine. Vance said that Goldberg “clearly hyperdred what he had”, and the deputy head of the staff of Trump, Taylor Budowich, defined the story “bullshit” and people involved “scumbags”.
Hegseth has contested the initial characterization of the journal of text messages such as “war plans”. He said that the texts have not mentioned objectives, positions, units, paths, sources or methods, nor classified information.

“These are some really shitty war plans. This shows only one thing: Jeff Goldberg has never seen a war plan or a” attack plan “(as he calls it now). Not,” said Hegseth. “We will continue to do our job, while the media do what it does best: the bodies for users.”
In the meantime, Leavitt has accused Goldberg of being a “anti-trump sensationalist reporter”, a liar and a recorded democrat whose wife had given the party. He also labeled a “buffalo” story and said that the true story was the success of Yemen’s mission.
In a declaration, The Atlantic These attempts to discredit and denigrate his relationships and the staff “follow an evident playbook by elected officials and others in power that are hostile to journalists and the rights of the first amendment of all Americans”.

“I learned at the time to the service that responsibility is fundamental for leadership. Accept responsibility when things go wrong. Admit errors. You set the standard from above,” Crow said.
“It is completely scandalous for me that the administration officials come in front of us today with impunity. It is scandalous, and it is a failure of the leadership, and this is why the secretary Hegseth … must resign immediately.”
Gabbard, having misunderstanding in different responses to the hearing of the previous day, granted Wednesday (Thursday Aedt) to be in the group chat. “At the time I was traveling and I was not playing a very specific role,” he said.

He recognized that it was a mistake that a journalist was inadvertently added to the group and said Waltz had “assumed full responsibility”. An in -depth revision with technical experts was underway on how it happened.
While Waltz admitted that he was the one who inadvertently added Goldberg to the group, implied Goldberg – who called a “loser” – could have somehow masked his phone number with another name on Waltz’s phone.
Waltz claimed that he did not know Goldberg or that he had never met him or spoken, but the photos quickly emerged from men standing next to each other during an event from 2021 in which Goldberg was the EMREE.
When asked about Fox News, like Goldberg’s phone number, he could have ended up on his phone if they didn’t know each other, Waltz said: “If you have someone else’s contact, somehow is sucked in. He is sucked.”
