The Atlantic has published the Signal group chat messages among national security leaders that were inadvertently shared with Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg, noting administration officials said Tuesday they were not classified.
The published chats show the internal discussions Goldberg described in a Monday article, with figures including Vice President Vance discussing the merits of an airstrike on Houthi targets in Yemen.
The published chat offers details about the attack that the initial article did not contain, including the specific timeline of the airstrike and what weapons would be used.
President Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other officials have ripped The Atlantic and Goldberg in an effort to discredit their reporting, and in a statement, The Atlantic said it wanted to make public the texts so that people could see them for themselves.
“The statements by Hegseth, Gabbard, Ratcliffe, and 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,” Goldberg and colleague Shane Harris wrote.
