White House figures out how it texted secret bombing plans to a reporter
- The head of The Atlantic was unintentionally added on March 13, 2025, to a private Signal conversation where former Trump administration officials were coordinating military operations targeting the Houthis in Yemen.
- The error occurred when an iPhone’s contact suggestion feature mistakenly associated Goldberg’s number with that of a Trump administration official, leading to Goldberg being added to the group chat instead of the intended government representative.
- The chat contained classified information about the strike, was used by multiple administrations, and Goldberg reported the security breach despite anticipating harsh personal and professional backlash.
- Goldberg stated, "this isn't The Matrix," dismissing claims that phone numbers could be randomly "sucked in," while officials including Mike Waltz denied intent and blamed technical errors for the leak.
- The White House conducted an internal investigation, acknowledged mistakes, and vowed remedial steps, while Congressional committees planned further inquiry into the leak's implications for national security.
