While fallout from a group chat among high-level Trump administration officials discussing military operations in Yemen, including the vice-president and the Secretary of Defense, and also included the editor of Atlantic Magazine, Rockland’s congressman says those kinds of briefings should have been kept on classified channels, not on the chat platform, Signal. Rockland Congressman Mike Lawler of the Hudson Valley’s 17th district told “The Morning Show” Tuesday foreign or other bad actors could have had access to that chat, and this kind of mistake can’t happen again…
ABC News reported that President Trump claimed there “was no classified information” included in the chat and defended national security adviser Michael Waltz, the one who apparently, inadvertently added Atlantic Editor-in-Chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, to the chat. He has taken responsibility for the snafu, calling it embarrassing, but he says he doesn’t know how Goldberg got onto the chat. Congressman Seth Moulton, a Democrat from Massachusetts and a Marine veteran, called the incident a national security breach that “put American lives at risk.”
