U.S. Secretary Condemns Atlantic Editor For Leaking Attacks Against Houthis
By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News
WASHINGTON (Worthy News) – U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has condemned The Atlantic magazine’s chief editor, Jeffrey Goldberg, for sharing details of an upcoming military strike in Yemen targeting Houthi rebels.
Hegseth called Goldberg a “deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who has made a profession of peddling hoaxes time and time again.”
His comments during an official visit to Hawaii followed a bombshell report on Monday in which Goldberg detailed how he was inadvertently added to a group chat on the messaging application Signal by national security advisor Michael Waltz.
The group included administration officials, including U.S. Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller.
Goldberg was eventually made aware of an upcoming military strike operation in Yemen targeting Houthi rebels.
That operation was carried out on March 15, and the editor included screenshots of the post-strike congratulations that poured into the Signal thread.
Goldberg subsequently left the thread and later confirmed with the Trump administration that it was an authentic record of events.
During a Senate Intelligence Committee meeting on Tuesday, officials, including national intelligence director Tulsi Gabbard and CIA director John Ratcliffe, claimed that no classified information was shared in the Signal chat.
NATIONAL SECURITY
Goldberg’s story represents an extraordinary breach in national security, and he emphasizes the unprecedented nature of the incident and its broader implications in his account. “The Signal app was not approved by the government for sharing classified information,” he wrote.
In his first public remarks on the story, Hegseth denied that classified information was being shared on Signal but declined to provide further details.
“I would love to comment on the Houthi campaign because of the skill and courage of our troops,” he said.
The defense secretary also suggested that Goldberg has a history of reporting on “hoaxes,” specifically regarding the Russia investigation during Trump’s first term.
Yet The Atlantic editor said that Hegseth “can say it wasn’t a war plan, but it was a minute-by-minute accounting of what was about to happen.“
Goldberg complained, “The whole thing is just very flummoxing to me. The secretary of defense, all due respect, in that presentation seems like a person who is unserious and is trying to deflect from the fact that he participated in a conversation… that he probably shouldn’t have participated in.”
