Among the Trump officials was the best Atlantic editor in the group chat about plans to bomb Yemen

Washington Jeffrey Goldberg, Head of the Holocaust in the Atlantic Ocean, wrote on Monday,

When the White House cabinet meeting reveals Monday afternoon, Goldberg A published piece In detail, how to add it to the chat signal the encrypted messaging application earlier this month through an account that shares the name of the National Security Adviser at the White House Mike Waltz. Later, Goldberg said an account called “Higseth” Strokes in Yemen This included accurate information about the weapons packages, targets and the timing of the attack shortly before it occurred.

The National Security Council said that the messages appear “authentic” in a statement to CBS News after publishing the story.

“At this time, it appears that the authentic messaging interconnection index, and we are reviewing how an unintended number has been added to the series,” said a spokesman for the National Security Council. “The thread is evidence of deep and thoughtful political coordination among senior officials. The continuous success of the Houthi process indicates that there are no threats to our members or our national security.”

When asked about the story of Goldberg at the White House on Monday afternoon, President Trump told the reporters that he had not heard of it.

The president replied, “I don’t know anything about it.” “I am not a big admirer of the Atlantic Ocean. It is, for me, it is a magazine that runs out of work. I think it is not a big magazine. But I don’t know anything about it.”

In his article, Goldberg said he had received a call to a signal on March 11 from a user named “Mike Waltz” without explanation. On March 13, Goldberg said it was added to a group chat, in a reference entitled “HOUTHI PC Small Group”, which he took to be a reference to the “Manager Committee”, or a group of high -ranking officials.

The chat also appears to include other Trump officials, including Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Director of National Intelligence Tolsi Gabbard, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen, and CIA director John Ratcliffe, among others, according to Goldberg.

Goldberg wrote that he was initially skeptical of the health of the group, saying he believed that he could have been “part of a misleading information campaign” or an attempt to embarrass journalists.

“I had very strong doubts that this textual group was real, because I could not believe that the United States National Security Command would continue about a sign of imminent war plans,” Goldberg wrote.

The Houthis are a rebel group supported by Iranians in Yemen, which attacked commercial ships and warships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden for more than a year, threatening maritime trade. The Houthis used the war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas to justify the attacks. President He said Last week, Iran was considered behind the attacks and warned that it would “suffer from the consequences of” additional strikes.

On March 14, officials in the sign chat discussed a process of targeting the group, according to Goldberg. The “JD Vance” account expressed concern that taking action against the Houthis would benefit Europe in the first place at a time when Mr. Trump was pressuring European allies to do more to provide their security.

“I am not sure that the president realizes how consistently this is consistent with his message from Europe at the present time. There is another danger to see a moderate rise to severe oil prices,” Vans wrote. ))

Goldberg wrote that Higseth replied: “Vice President: I understand your fears – and I completely support you raising with Potus. Important considerations, most of which are difficult to know (economics, Ukraine peace, Gaza, etc.).

On Saturday, March 15, Higseth published an update and responded in texts that Goldberg said would not publish it because “the information contained therein, if they read by the United States opponent, could be used to harm American military and intelligence, especially in the broader Middle East, and the field of central responsibility.”

“What I will say, in order to clarify the shocking recklessness of this signal conversation, is that the post Higseth contains operational details about the coming strikes on Yemen, including information about the goals, the weapons that the United States will spread, and the attack sequence.”

Goldberg said that Higseth told the group that the strikes against the Houthis would start at 1:45 pm Each time.

He wrote: “So I waited in my car in a car park in the supermarket. If this sign chat was real, I have already been thought about, the Houthi targets will be bombed soon. At approximately 1:55, I reviewed X and searched Yemen. Then the explosions were heard throughout Sana, the capital.”

He said he examined the sign chat and found a series of congratulations from Waltz and others:

“I concluded that the sign chat collection was certainly real. After I reached this awareness, it was almost impossible just hours ago, I removed myself from the sign group, and understood that this would lead to automatic notice of the group’s creator,” Michael Waltz “, I left,” Goldberg continued. “No one noticed in the chat that I was there. I did not receive any later questions about the reason for leaving – or more to this point, who I was.”

At 2:29 pm, Mr. Trump was published A message about the social truth Announcing the attack.

“Today, the US military ordered the launch of decisive and strong military action against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen. They have launched an unparalleled campaign of piracy, violence and terrorism against American ships, ships, planes and aircraft.” “It will not be tolerated with the Houthi attack on American ships. We will use a overwhelming killer force until we achieved our goal.”

On Monday afternoon, Democratic Senator Jacques Reed from Rudd Island, a member of the Armed Services Committee of the Senate, said that, if true, it represents one of the most common operational security and common sense that I have seen at all. “

“Military operations must be dealt with with a maximum estimation power, using accredited and safe communication lines, because American spirits are at stake. The neglect that the cabinet of President Trump showed amazing and dangerous,” Reid said in a statement. “I will search for answers from the administration immediately.”
