President Donald Trump said today, Tuesday, that he had not disclosed any secret information in a secret group conversation for senior American national security officials, which included a journalist from a magazine, according to Reuters.
White House National Security Adviser Mike Waltis announced an investigation into how to invite the editor -in -chief of Atlantic Jeffrey Goldberding to join a secret collective debate on highly sensitive war plans before the Houthi attacks on Yemen.
The White House confirmed, yesterday, Monday, that the editor -in -chief of “The Atlantic” magazine was mistakenly included in a very secret correspondence group, which includes a number of senior American officials to discuss the direct strikes against the Houthis in Yemen, while President Donald Trump confirmed that he “knows nothing” about the addition of a journalist to a secret correspondence group that discussed military plans.
According to “Agence France Presse,” National Security Council spokesman, Brian Hughes, said, after journalist Jeffrey Goldberg revealed that he had previously received a detailed plan for American raids on March 15 against the Houthis: “At this time it seems that the series of messages mentioned in the article is original, and we are investigating how to add a number by mistake.”
The Atlantic published an article written by Editor -in -Chief Jeffrey Goldberg, saying that “American national security leaders are fantasy to a collective conversation about the upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think that might be real. Then the bombs began to fall.”
Goldberg did not reveal the details of the plan, but he wrote that US Defense Secretary Beit Higseth sent information to the correspondence group about strikes, including “the goals and weapons that the United States will publish and the sequence of attacks.”
He wrote: “According to Higseth’s long message, the first explosions in Yemen will be felt after two hours, at 1:45 pm Each time,” a timetable confirmed on the ground in Yemen.
