Despite officials&#8217; claims on Tuesday that the information contained within the chat was not classified, publishing such information could still violate the Espionage Act, which prohibits the release of national defense information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth\u00a0and national security adviser Mike Waltz have faced calls to resign following revelations that the outlet&#8217;s editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg was inadvertently added to a private group chat earlier this month in which Hegseth, Waltz, Vice President JD Vance and other top administration officials reportedly discussed impending airstrikes on Yemen&#8217;s Houthi rebels.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Atlantic noted that the White House opposed its publishing of the information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read the new messages:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;TEAM UPDATE: TIME NOW (1144et): Weather is FAVORABLE. Just CONFIRMED w\/CENTCOM we are a GO for mission launch. 1215et: F-18s LAUNCH (1st strike package). 1345: \u2018Trigger Based\u2019 F-18 1st Strike Window Starts (Target Terrorist is @ his Known Location so SHOULD BE ON TIME \u2013 also, Strike Drones Launch (MQ-9s),&#8221; Hegseth apparently wrote in a screenshot of a text message released Wednesday by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/politics\/archive\/2025\/03\/signal-group-chat-attack-plans-hegseth-goldberg\/682176\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Atlantic.&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;1410: More F-18s LAUNCH (2nd strike package). 1415: Strike Drones on Target (THIS IS WHEN THE FIRST BOMBS WILL DEFINITELY DROP, pending earlier \u2018Trigger Based\u2019 targets). 1536 F-18 2nd Strike Starts \u2013 also, first sea-based Tomahawks launched,&#8221; Hegseth reportedly continued, before adding &#8220;Godspeed to our Warriors.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Waltz later allegedly wrote &#8220;The first target \u2013 their top missile guy \u2013 we had positive ID of him walking into his girlfriend\u2019s building and it\u2019s now collapsed,&#8221; according to The Atlantic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Excellent,&#8221; read a message in response attributed to Vance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Atlantic said in its report Wednesday \u2013 titled &#8220;Here Are the Attack Plans That Trump\u2019s Advisers Shared on Signal&#8221; \u2013 that &#8220;the statements by Hegseth, Gabbard, Ratcliffe, and Trump \u2013 combined with the assertions made by numerous administration officials that we are lying about the content of the Signal texts \u2013 have led us to believe that people should see the texts in order to reach their own conclusions.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;There is a clear public interest in disclosing the sort of information that Trump advisers included in nonsecure communications channels, especially because senior administration figures are attempting to downplay the significance of the messages that were shared,&#8221; wrote the Atlantic&#8217;s Goldberg and reporter Shane Harris.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Experts have repeatedly told us that use of a Signal chat for such sensitive discussions poses a threat to national security. As a case in point, Goldberg received information on the attacks two hours before the scheduled start of the bombing of Houthi positions. If this information \u2013 particularly the exact times American aircraft were taking off for Yemen \u2013 had fallen into the wrong hands in that crucial two-hour period, American pilots and other American personnel could have been exposed to even greater danger than they ordinarily would face,&#8221; they also said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Atlantic report said &#8220;A CIA spokesperson asked us to withhold the name of John Ratcliffe\u2019s chief of staff, which Ratcliffe had shared in the Signal chain, because CIA intelligence officers are traditionally not publicly identified.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Multiple government officials have rebuked the additional reporting and have accused The Atlantic of peddling a &#8220;hoax.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>White House Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Budowich said in response to the report that &#8220;The Atlantic has already abandoned their bulls&#8212; \u2018war plans\u2019 narrative, and in releasing the full chat , they concede they LIED to perpetuate yet ANOTHER hoax on the American people. What scumbags!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The Atlantic has conceded: these were NOT \u2018war plans,\u2019&#8221; White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt added. &#8220;This entire story was another hoax written by a Trump-hater who is well-known for his sensationalist spin.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, the highest-ranking Democrat to do so, wrote a letter to President Donald Trump yesterday demanding that Hegseth be &#8220;fired immediately.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The so-called Secretary of Defense recklessly and casually disclosed highly sensitive war plans &#8212; including the timing of a pending attack, possible strike targets and the weapons to be used &#8211;during an unclassified national security group chat that inexplicably included a reporter. His behavior shocks the conscience, risked American lives and likely violated the law,&#8221; Jeffries wrote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Atlantic has published additional messages from Signal group chat among national security leaders that were inadvertently shared with Editor-in-Chief\u00a0Jeffrey Goldberg, teeing up potential consequences for the publication.
