The Atlantic Publishes War Plans Discussed In Signal Group Chat [View all]

The Atlantic on Wednesday published the war plans shared in the Signal group chat that the magazine’s editor-in-chief was inadvertently invited to join earlier this month.

Jeffrey Goldberg had previously withheld sharing some of those messages concerning planned military strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen over concerns that their content was too sensitive.

The Atlantic claimed the repeated assertions of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that no war plans were discussed in the text thread coupled with the congressional testimony of CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard that no classified information was included in the chat were among the factors contributing to their decision.

“The statements by Hegseth, Gabbard, Ratcliffe, and [President Donald] Trump—combined with the assertions made by numerous administration officials that we are lying about the content of the Signal texts—have led us to believe that people should see the texts in order to reach their own conclusions,” the article states.
