US EditionAdam Zyglis: Group Chat Debacle
- On Thursday, March 27, 2025, at the New Orleans Book Festival at Tulane University, Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, discussed his recently published article about being inadvertently included in a Signal group chat where top U.S. Officials shared secret plans for Yemen air strikes.
- Goldberg's article detailing the sensitive exchanges on the Signal app, including attack details shared by Pete Hegseth, was published in the run-up to U.S. Strikes on rebel Houthis and has since sparked a national conversation about the Trump administration's handling of sensitive information.
- The Signal chat included 18 top U.S. Officials, including the secretaries of defense and state, discussing military actions such as launch times of jets from aircraft carriers to strike Houthi targets, leading to Democrats grilling Trump officials in congressional hearings.
- In response to criticism, Goldberg defended his decision to release nearly the full transcript of the Signal chat, stating, "I’m not going to be called a liar, and I’m not going to have my magazine called a liar,", emphasizing that the administration's reaction goaded him into publishing the whole transcript.
- Following the article's publication, Goldberg has faced ad hominem attacks from figures like Donald Trump, who called him a "sleazebag", and Pete Hegseth, who branded him a "deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist", while Goldberg has defended his reporting and The Atlantic's reputation.
