Atlantic Publishes Full Transcript of Trump Team’s Signal Conversation: Editor Jeffrey Goldberg Claims Chat Could Have Aided ‘Adversaries’
‘We are currently clear on OPSEC — that is, operational security,’ Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth writes in a group chat that accidentally somehow included the magazine editor.
The Atlantic magazine is pushing back at the Trump Administration’s insistence, both to the press and the Senate Intelligence committee, that no classified war plans against Houthi rebels were shared on an encrypted Signal group by publishing transcripts and screenshots of the texts in full early Wednesday.
“There is a clear public interest in disclosing the sort of information that Trump advisers included in nonsecure communications channels, especially because senior administration figures are attempting to downplay the significance of the messages that were shared,” said Jeffrey Goldberg, the publication’s editor who was added to the Signal chat. The White House says it has no idea how he was added. Mr. Goldberg says he was invited to the chat by the national security adviser, Mike Waltz, who denies ever knowing or interacting with the journalist, who’s known for reporting that’s openly hostile to President Trump.
