The National Security Council is reviewing an incident in which The Atlantic Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg was accidentally added to a Signal chat discussing war plans against the Houthis in Yemen.
The White House confirmed the mistake, stating that an inadvertent number was added to the chat.
The chat involved 18 people, including top officials such as the U.S. Secretary of Defense, Vice President, CIA Director, and Secretary of State.
Goldberg received a connection request and group invitation on Signal, eventually witnessing the discussion about imminent war plans and the subsequent airstrikes.
