Trump Officials Caught Leaking Military Secrets on Signal—Full Chats Exposed!

Washington, D.C.

Full Chats Exposed:— In a stunning revelation, The Atlantic has published the full contents of a private Signal chat where top officials from Donald Trump’s administration openly discussed critical military operations. The chat, named ‘Houthi PC small group,’ included high-ranking officials such as Vice President JD Vance, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and CIA Director John Ratcliffe.

The messages reveal that detailed information about U.S. military operations—including weapon deployment and precise strike timings—was shared on the unencrypted platform before a strike on Houthi targets. The breach came to light when The Atlantic’s journalist Jeffrey Goldberg was mistakenly added to the group, granting him access to confidential discussions.

Inside the Chat: A Play-by-Play of Military Strikes

The leaked messages read like a real-time battlefield report. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth posted updates detailing the sequence of attacks:

“1215 ET: F-18s LAUNCH (1st strike package)”
“1415: Strike Drones on Target (THIS IS WHEN THE FIRST BOMBS WILL DEFINITELY DROP, pending earlier ‘Trigger Based’ targets)”
“1536 F-18 2nd Strike Starts – also, first sea-based Tomahawks launched.”
“We are currently clean on OPSEC.”
“Godspeed to our Warriors.”

Vice President JD Vance responded, “I will say a prayer for victory.” Shortly after, Waltz announced, “VP. Building collapsed. Had multiple positive ID. Pete, Kurilla, the IC, amazing job.” His message referenced General Michael E. Kurilla, head of U.S. Central Command, and intelligence officials.

The conversation continued with further confirmation of targets being hit, and Vance responded simply: “Excellent.”

Damage Control or Denial? Trump Officials React

When news of the leak broke, Trump dismissed it as “the only glitch in two months” and insisted it was “not a serious one.” Waltz, the official responsible for mistakenly adding Goldberg, downplayed the breach, stating, “No locations. No sources & methods. NO WAR PLANS.”

Vice President Vance accused The Atlantic of exaggerating the incident, saying, “It’s very clear Goldberg oversold what he had.” Meanwhile, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt maintained that “no classified information was posted to the Signal chat.” Hegseth, when pressed, refused to clarify whether classified intelligence had been shared.

Full Chats Exposed: Bigger Questions Remain

While officials scramble to downplay the incident, cybersecurity experts and political analysts warn of the larger implications. The leak raises serious concerns about how sensitive military strategies are communicated—and whether top officials take operational security (OPSEC) seriously enough.

As scrutiny intensifies, one thing is clear: the Trump administration’s handling of classified information remains a topic of heated debate, and this latest leak only fuels the fire. Whether this leads to deeper investigations or policy changes remains to be seen, but for now, the revelations leave the public with more questions than answers.
