Major US security blunder as Trump team shares top-secret war plans with journalist | BBC News
The White House has confirmed that a journalist was inadvertently added to an insecure group chat in which leading US national security officials and the Vice-President JD Vance debated and planned a military strike in Yemen.
The Atlantic magazine’s Jeffrey Goldberg was included on a Signal message group with Vice-President JD Vance and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth among its members.
He saw classified military plans for US strikes on Houthi rebels, including precise details of weapons packages, targets and timing, two hours before the first bombs struck.
Goldberg said he was added to the message chain, apparently by accident, after receiving a connection request from someone who appeared to be White House National Security Adviser Michael Waltz.
President Donald Trump told reporters that he was not aware of the Atlantic article. “The attacks on the Houthis have been highly successful and effective,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. “President Trump continues to have the utmost confidence in his national security team, including National Security Advisor Mike Waltz.”
On 15 March the US launched what it described as a “decisive and powerful” series of air strikes against the Houthis in Yemen. Four days earlier, on 11 March, Atlantic editor-in-chief Goldberg says he received the connection request on the encrypted messaging app Signal from an account that purported to be Mr Waltz’s. Signal is used by journalists and Washington officials because of the secure nature of its communications, the ability to create aliases, and to send disappearing messages.
Two days later, Goldberg said he was added to a Signal chat entitled “Houthi PC small group.” A number of accounts that appeared to belong to cabinet members and national security officials were included in the 18-person chat, Goldberg reported. Accounts labelled “JD Vance”, the name of the vice-president; “Pete Hegseth,” the defence secretary; and “John Ratcliffe,” director of the Central Intelligence Agency; were among names in the chain.
Top national security officials from various agencies also appeared in it, including Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s director of national intelligence, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Brazilians will be voting for a new president on Sunday in a run-off election in which the veteran incumbent, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, is being challenged by right-wing Senator Flávio Bolsonaro.
Bolsonaro, the son of convicted former president Jair Bolsonaro, beat Lula in the first round of voting on 4 October by a narrow margin, but fell short of the 50% of valid votes needed to win outright, triggering Sunday’s run-off.
Polls ahead of the second round put them neck and neck.

The public health risk from the current Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has been increased from “high” to “very high” by the World Health Organization (WHO).
In an update on Friday 22 May, the WHO’s head Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus also said the risk in the wider region in Africa was “high”, but it remained “low” at a global level.
There are different strains of Ebola; the current strain identified in Democratic Republic of Congo is caused by the Bundibugyo virus.
The WHO says there are no approved drugs or vaccines for the strain of Ebola caused by the Bundibugyo virus.
Asma Khalid speaks to the BBC’s Health and Science correspondent, James Gallagher, about the outbreak. She asks: what is Ebola, what are the symptoms, how does it spread, where does it come from and whether there a cure, vaccine or treatment.
