Top Trump administration officials, including US vice-president JD Vance and secretary of defence Pete Hegseth, mistakenly included a journalist in a top secret messaging group discussing strikes against Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis in a massive security breach.
The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg said in a report yesterday that he was inadvertently invited on March 13 to an encrypted chat group on the Signal messaging app called the “Houthi PC small group”.
