News: President Trump addresses joint session of Congress
(New York, NY) — The editor-in-chief of The Atlantic is doubling down on claims he was accidentally texted plans about U.S. airstrikes on Houthi targets by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Jeffrey Goldberg says he initially thought the messages could be part of some sort of disinformation campaign because of how sensitive they appeared to be. He says he learned about the plans in a group chat that included Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth along with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard.
The editor-in chief says the texts were very detailed and included human targets.
Defense Secretary Hegseth says that Jeffrey Goldberg is “deceitful” and has “made a profession of peddling hoaxes.” He says no one was texting war plans.
