Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton shared her surprise Monday about a report from The Atlantic’s editor in chief, who said he was swept up in a text message chain with top Trump administration officials on plans for an attack on Houthi rebels. “You have got to be kidding me,” Clinton wrote on the social platform X, sharing the eyes emoji along with The Atlantic article.
Clinton’s use of a private server for classified emails while she was former President Obama’s secretary of State was a major issue in the 2016 campaign. She was criticized by Trump and his supporters consistently on it. Jeffrey Goldberg, editor in chief of The Atlantic, wrote Monday that he was invited to a group chat on Signal in which top officials debated and then discussed details of attacks in Yemen earlier this month.
Trump said he knew nothing on the report after Brian Hughes, the spokesperson for the National Security Council, confirmed the message chain was authentic. Goldberg, in the article, claimed national security adviser Mike Waltz connected with him on Signal on March 11, and two days later he was invited to join a chat called the “Houthi PC small group,” whose other members were seemingly unaware of his presence.
The president and his team have said Monday that the attack on the Houthis was successful, in response to the report that included screenshots from the Signal group. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly sent the group details on weapons used, targets, and timing two hours ahead of the attacks that began March 15, and other top officials including Vice President Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe also wrote in it.
