The Atlantic magazine has published more excerpts of the Trump administration’s group chat on Signal that detail timings of military strikes in Yemen, a day after senior officials claimed the exchanges contained no classified information.
The messages will heap more pressure on the administration over what is being described as one of the most spectacular security breaches in the upper echelons of power in Washington in recent years.
Donald Trump has dismissed the scandal as a “glitch” and stood by Mike Waltz, his national security adviser, who set up the group chat on the Signal messaging app and inadvertently invited Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, to take part.
