Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said on Tuesday that no war plans were texted in the Signal group chat formed by top Trump administration officials. On Wednesday, The Atlantic Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg, who was inadvertently added to the group, released the texts seemingly showing otherwise.
Goldberg recalled how different Trump officials rejected the allegations made in his article, downplaying the importance of the discussions. It noted that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said "there was no classified material that was shared in that Signal group," and that CIA director John Ratcliffe said "my communications, to be clear, in the Signal message group were entirely permissible and lawful and did not include classified information." President Donald Trump, on his end, said "it wasn't classified information."
