This morning, The Atlantic reported new revelations about the Trump administration’s mishandling of sensitive military information on the Signal messaging app.

Despite claims from Trump officials—including —that no classified information was shared, The Atlantic published further screenshots of the chat that revealed crucial operational details about a strike in Yemen.

The text exchange between high-level officials, like National Advisor Michael Waltz, contained real-time updates about U.S. operations, information that, if exposed to enemies, could have endangered American lives.

Critics argue that these messages should never have been sent via a non-secure app like Signal.

While the Trump administration continues to downplay the breach, experts warn this could have far-reaching implications for national security. As public scrutiny intensifies, questions remain about the administration’s accountability.
