Messages published by The Atlantic show detailed plans Pete Hegseth shared with the Signal chat group, including details on the target, timings and type of weapons U.S. forces would use

 

The Atlantic magazine went on offense Wednesday by publishing more messages from the Signal chat group that editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg was accidentally added to as key White House officials discussed war plans against the Houthis. 

On Monday, Goldberg had published a piece entitled The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans. 

Goldberg left out some of the messages, including details shared by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, for fear they could endanger American military personnel. 

President Donald Trump, Hegseth and other key White House officials, in turn, called Goldberg a bevy of names, including a 'total sleazebag,' in an attempt to delegitimize his reporting. 

On Wednesday, Goldberg came with more receipts - including the exact details Hegseth shared as the U.S. military attacked the Houthis, an Iran-backed group in Yemen who were attacking vessels on the Red Sea. 

'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,' wrote Goldberg and The Atlantic's Shane Harris. 

'There is a clear public interest in disclosing the sort of information that Trump advisers included in non-secure communications channels, especially because senior administration figures are attempting to downplay the significance of the messages that were shared,' the journalists added. 

Wednesday's Atlantic story fills in the gap on what was discussed on March 15, the day of the attack.
