As you are aware by now, The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg was inadvertantly included on a White House group chat via the Signal app about highly sensitive Signal chat detailing plans for airstrikes in Yemen.
Goldberg, The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief, suggested he may release all of the texts he viewed in the Signal chat during an interview with The Bulwark on Tuesday.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday disputed The Atlantic’s report, and called Goldberg a “deceitful and highly discredited so-called ‘journalist’ who’s made a profession of peddling hoaxes time and time again.”
Democrats are arguing that the Signal fiasco reveals widespread mismanagement of classified information under the Trump administration — a message they sought to drive home during an Intelligence Committee hearing Tuesday.
How is Pennsylvania’s congressional delegation and others reacting to the leak?
Sen. John Fetterman
DO: Destroy Iran-backed Houthis.

A special counsel should be appointed – now. The national security adviser & defense secretary should resign – now.
The American people cannot trust the Trump-Vance administration to investigate itself, especially when VP Vance himself was apparently involved. https://t.co/lsoNezMYxW

This stunning lack of operational security by @SecDef is just another illustration of his gross incompetence. He’s a danger to the nation and our troops, here and abroad.
