Trump Officials Scrutinized for Adding Journalist to Signal Chat on Yemen Strikes

White House confirms the Signal group chat was authentic, denies sharing classified information, and faces bipartisan criticism over security protocols.

  • National Security Advisor Mike Waltz mistakenly added journalist Jeffrey Goldberg to a Signal group chat discussing U.S. military operations in Yemen.
  • The group chat included high-ranking officials like Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and reportedly contained operational details of the March 15 airstrikes on Houthi rebels.
  • The White House and intelligence officials testified that no classified information was shared, but concerns persist over the use of non-secure communication platforms for sensitive discussions.
  • Democratic lawmakers are demanding resignations and investigations, while Republicans express concern but largely defend the officials involved.
  • President Trump defended Waltz, calling the incident a minor 'glitch,' as Senate hearings continue to probe the security breach and its implications.
