How did the publicly confidential information leaked to the public?
Atlantic editor -in -chief Jeffrey Goldberg, in an article published on Monday, claims that he was unexpectedly invited to a « talk group » on March 13, using the correspondence signal application in a group of users called « Houthi PC Small Group ».

National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes briefly stated that « the conversation group seemed authentic », which further sheds light at the unfortunate event.
As a reminder, US President Donald Trump launched a campaign of massive military attacks against Yemeni Juti on March 15 over attacks on Red Sea, warning Iran, the Houthi chief supporter, that it must immediately suspend its support for the group. And just hours before those attacks began, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegset released operational details on the plan of the said messages « Houth PC Small Group » that listed « information on the targets, the weapons that the United States will deploy and the sequence of attacks ». That information was shared with journalist Jeffrey Goldberg, who called this correspondence « shockingly thoughtless ».

White House officials have warned that US President Donald Trump will make a decision in the next day or two, while following the developments following reports of data, sources said.
« Half of them (administrative staff) say he (Waltz) will never survive or that he should not survive, » Politico’s statement quoted one of the officials.
Other senior White House associates believe Waltz should resign to avoid putting the president in an « awkward position ».
– It was reckless not to check who is in this group. It was reckless to have this signal conversation (chat application). The national security adviser cannot be reckless – quoted a « Politico » official as saying.
However, another person close to the administration said without public detention: « Everyone in the White House agrees for one thing: Mike Waltz is an idiot. »
At the same time, another source pointed out that Waltz’s future depends on what Trump thinks of everything. RS
