US magazine publishes other chat messages-with detailed attack plans

WORLD US magazine publishes other chat messages-with detailed attack plans 1 hour • 2 minutes of reading time The scandal about the secret group chat of the Trump government continues. After the US defense minister questions the integrity of "Altantic" editor-in-chief Goldberg, the magazine counters with other screenshots. After the security breakdown in a group chat of rank-high US government agents, the US magazine "The Atlantic" published a chat course via attack plans on the Huthi militia in Yemen in full length. In the screenshots of the chat published on Wednesday, numerous details such as precise attack times and the aircraft used are included. Defense Minister Pete Hegseth writes, for example, that F-18 fighter planes should attack once at 1:45 p.m. and then again at 2:10 p.m., there is also talk of drone attacks. Literally it says: "The target terrorist is on his well -known location." And: "Good luck to our warriors." There was initially no reaction from the US government. "The Atlantic", according to its own statements, decided to publish the government of US President Donald Trump several times that secret information had been exchanged in the unsettled chat. Hegseth had vehemently denied that he had sent "war plans" and insulted "Atlantic" editor Jeffrey Goldberg as "fraudulent and discredited so-called journalists". Goldberg had made it public in an article at the beginning of the week that he had apparently been invited to a government-internal chat group in the Messengerdienst Signal, in which, among others, Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the national security consultant Mike Waltz had exchanged specific attack plans for the Huthi-Miliz in Yemen. Trump subsequently dismissed the incident as a "slip". His spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt had explained that in the chat group "no war plans" were discussed and "no information was replaced as a secret information". "There is a clear public interest in disclosing the type of information that advisors [of US President Donald Trump] have exchanged in uncertain communication channels," Goldberg and co-author Shane Harris now write-especially because the Trump government is trying to downplay the importance of the news.
