Trump officials attack journalist after Signal leak published in full
The White House reacted furiously on Wednesday after The Atlantic magazine published messages between national security officials in a Signal group chat in their entirety.
Jeffrey Goldberg, the journalist who was inadvertently included in the chat among senior cabinet leaders, shared texts in which US defence secretary Pete Hegseth provided sensitive information such as detailed timetables and unit information hours ahead of a planned US strike in Yemen.
Goldberg said he had decided to publish the information after the Trump administration accused him of lying that classified information had been shared.
Officials continued to maintain that position after the new messages were published.
But some senior officials began to acknowledge the episode was a mistake, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who participated in the group chat.
