The Atlantic reported a significant security breach involving Trump administration officials who shared classified military attack plans within a Signal group chat. The chat inadvertently included Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic.
Shane Harris, a staff writer at The Atlantic, highlighted the severe risks associated with this breach. He emphasized that had this information fallen into enemy hands, it could have jeopardized the lives of US forces. The Trump administration's claim that the information wasn't classified was disputed, with Harris pointing out the substantial security and policy implications.
The incident was discussed by a panel including Goldberg, Peter Baker (New York Times), Laura Barrón-López (PBS News Hour), Susan Glasser (The New Yorker), and Harris. The discussion focused on the security risks and potential consequences of the breach.
