The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief published a story about being added to the ‘Houthi PC Small Group’ on Signal by Trump’s national security adviser Mike Waltz, gaining access to high-level military operation planning.
On March 26th, The Atlantic released the texts, revealing weather conditions for targeted strikes, descriptions of targets, confirmations, names of specific drones used, and more.
Government officials, including President Trump, claimed the chat contents were 'nonclassified', but The Atlantic published unredacted messages, omitting the name of a CIA intelligence officer.
The incident has drawn criticism and calls for resignation from politicians on both sides, highlighting concerns about mishandling classified information and operational security.
