25 march 2025 в 18:28
Jeffrey Goldberg rocked the internet on March 24, 2025, when he claimed that US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth accidentally sent him war plans regarding Yemen. Politicians were scrambling over the implications of the alleged texts, and Americans are now concerned about security as a journalist, presumably, was mistakenly given access to military operations.
Below you will learn more about Goldberg and what he revealed regarding Hegseth’s alleged group chat.
Goldberg is the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. He began his career in journalism, serving as the editor-in-chief of The Daily Pennsylvanian while studying at the University of Pennsylvania. Later, he worked for several publications, including The Washington Post, The Jerusalem Post, New York Magazine, and The New Yorker.
Goldberg has interviewed former President Barack Obama several times over the years, mainly focusing on American-Israeli relations.
On March 15, 2025, according to Goldberg, he was allegedly included in a group chat regarding upcoming military strikes in Yemen, as he claimed in an article published by The Atlantic on March 24, 2025. Vice President Jay Dee Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were reportedly part of the group chat on the Signal app, according to him.
The journalist wrote in the article that he began receiving messages from the group chat at 11:44 a.m. on March 15, revealing «operational details of upcoming strikes in Yemen, including information on targets, weapons the US plans to use, and the sequence of attacks».
«The information contained in them, if read by an adversary of the United States, could potentially be used to harm American military and intelligence personnel, especially in the Middle East», - Goldberg wrote.
Trump told a group of journalists that he «knows nothing» about either The Atlantic article or the text messages. National Security Council spokesperson Brian Hughes confirmed that the reported messages appear to be real.
«At this time, the reported messages appear to be authentic, and we are investigating how a number was accidentally added to the chain», - Hughes said in an email, according to The New York Times, adding that the text chain was a «demonstration of deep and thoughtful policy coordination among high-ranking officials».
However, according to multiple sources, Hegseth denied that war plans were disclosed in the messages, telling journalists that «no one sent war plans» and calling Goldberg a «lying and highly discredited so-called journalist»
