The administration has downplayed the importance of the text messages inadvertently sent to The Atlantic’s editor in chief.

The Atlantic published a story detailing how editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg had been inadvertently added to a Signal group chat of Trump-administration officials discussing attack plans on Houthi targets in Yemen.

Despite calls for Mike Waltz or Pete Hegseth to resign, so far White House officials are bashing only The Atlantic. Here’s the latest on the debacle.

Trump administration officials say the Atlantic debunked its own story that senior security officials shared "war plans" in a Signal group chat that included its editor-in-chief.

The president is privately upset with the sloppiness of his advisers. Publicly, he’s focused on attacking the press.

The Signal thread included President Donald Trump's national security advisor Michael Waltz, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Vice President JD Vance and others.

As senior officials deny wrongdoing, rank-and-file national-security personnel worry about the dangers if no one is held accountable.

“Had that information fallen into the hands of a U.S. adversary that had been in the group, or had [Goldberg] been a less scrupulous journalist and tweeted it, that information would then be known to the Houthis, who would be able to prepare defenses and a counterattack that absolutely would jeopardize the lives of U.S. forces,” Harris continued.
