The White House is relying on one word to reject reporting by The Atlantic about top officials discussing highly-sensitive military operations on the Signal messaging app: that it's latest article revealing the content of the conversation, which included real-time updates, uses the word "attack" in the headline rather than "war."
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on X on Wednesday that "The Atlantic has conceded: these were NOT 'war plans.'" "This entire story was another hoax written by a Trump-hater who is well-known for his sensationalist spin," Leavitt added.
