The #Pentagon’s #InspectorGeneral’s report into #PeteHegseth’s use of the #Signal app to share details of upcoming #airstrikes into #Yemen on March 15 found the #defense secy “sent a message containing operational information” to a group chat which included 19 people, including #JeffreyGoldberg, editor in chief of #TheAtlantic. It said that #Hegseth did so FROM HIS HOME on an Army base in Washington while accompanied by “his junior military assistant, & his personal communicator.”

For nearly 9 months, #Trump admin officials have defended top #NationalSecurity leaders who shared information in a #Signal chat about #US strikes in #Yemen, first reported by #TheAtlantic’s editor in chief, #JeffreyGoldberg, who was inadvertently included in the group. Officials played down the severity of the breach & insisted that the information wasn’t #classified.

Msgs sent from Hegseth’s #Signal account to the group chat, which sources previously confirmed included material from documents marked #classified at the time they were sent, offered specific, real-time updates about planned #military strikes. They were so specific that one even read: “This is when the first bombs will drop.”
It’s unclear if #Hegseth properly declassified that info before sharing it w/ other #Trump ofcls,& the Atlantic’s #JeffreyGoldberg, who was accidentally added to the chat.

"If you put something in [a] group chat, assume, some scumbag is gonna leak it in an effort to cause you harm."

The Pentagon announces that it will revoke access to news outlets that don't sign an agreement or report negatively about them. But don't worry, #JeffreyGoldberg will continue reporting for #TheAtlantic about everything #DepartmentOfDefense-related as he has excellent sources that add him to relevant #SignalApp groups.
