The Atlantic magazine published Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's messages to a group chat detailing the times and weapons used to strike Houthi targets in Yemen, as the fallout deepened over Trump administration officials using the encrypted chat app Signal to discuss classified war plans.
In a new article published Wednesday morning, Jeffrey Goldberg, the magazine's editor-in-chief, posted pictures of messages Hegseth sent the chat – which included Trump's highest-level national security officials – listing the planned launch times of F-18s and Tomahawks. Goldberg discovered the chat in mid-March when Mike Waltz, Trump's top national security advisor, accidentally added him.
The details released by Hegseth in the Signal group texts were clearly classified and “is a crime in my view,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., and a member of the Armed Services Committee, said Wednesday in an interview.
“This is information at the very top of the pyramid as to what should be kept secret and classified,” Blumenthal told USA TODAY. “He should resign. There is no question that he has betrayed his trust.”
