Trump Adviser Accidentally Reveals Military Plans in Secret Chat
Mike Waltz mistakenly added a journalist to a private Signal group discussing U.S. strikes on Yemen.
Donald Trump's national security adviser Mike Waltz accidentally added the editor of The Atlantic magazine to a closed military chat in the Signal messenger, where secret operations were being discussed. This was reported by U.S. media citing a source familiar with the situation.
The chat also included Vice President J.D. Vance and Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth. According to journalists, Hegseth shared information about planned U.S. strikes on Yemen, specifying the exact time and location several hours before they took place.
The editor, who was added to the group, initially thought it was a prank or a fake chat. However, when the information was confirmed in practice — the U.S. did indeed carry out airstrikes at the stated time — he realized he had witnessed a leak of highly classified data.
The incident caused a stir in political and media circles. At this time, there have been no official comments from the White House or the Pentagon. It is unclear whether an internal investigation will be conducted or what measures will be taken against the chat participants.
This case highlights the vulnerability of digital communication channels even at the highest levels and raises concerns about compliance with security protocols when transmitting confidential information.
