The Atlantic editor added to Trump’s war group chat

Goldberg was mistakenly added to a Signal group chat, a privacy-focused, open-source messaging app, by an individual impersonating Michael Waltz, President Donald Trump’s national security adviser. The error came to light in an article published by The Atlantic on Monday, titled “The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans.”

The group chat also contained messages from high-ranking officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Vice President JD Vance, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, among others.

Trump’s war plan leaks echo Hillary Clinton’s infamous email leak during her 2016 presidential campaign. In her case, emails containing sensitive and classified details were sent and stored on a private server, raising questions about her judgment and the security of government communications
