Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor in chief of The Atlantic, made the jaw-dropping revelation on Monday that President Donald Trump's national security team added him to a top secret chat on the military strikes in Yemen.
National Security Adviser Mike Waltz started the conversation on Signal, an encrypted messaging app, that included users identified as Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.
A CIA representative, Trump adviser Stephen Miller and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles were also listed in the group.
Goldberg, a longtime Washington D.C. journalist, found himself added to the conversation.
'It should go without saying—but I’ll say it anyway—that I have never been invited to a White House principals-committee meeting, and that, in my many years of reporting on national-security matters, I had never heard of one being convened over a commercial messaging app,' he wrote in The Atlantic.
