Trump Responds To Atlantic Releasing Leaked Attack Plans From Signal Chat

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that there were no detailed war plans included in the Signal chat after The Atlantic claimed that messages between administration officials contained “attack plans.”

The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg and Shane Harris published transcripts of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth outlining the military’s detailed plans to attack the Houthis in Yemen, followed by Vice President JD Vance stating he would “say a prayer for victory.” Trump told Daily Caller editorial director Vince Coglianese that the inadvertent leak of the plans to Goldberg had no impact on the successful attack.

“The update we got this morning is yesterday, Jeffrey Goldberg was insisting that there were secret war plans that were discussed. ‘They’re war plans,’ he insisted. And then a short while ago this morning, The Atlantic published some of these texts that they claim were war plans and I noticed that in them, they refer to it, Secretary Hegseth is referring to known targets, but he doesn’t say what the known targets are. He just generically refers to them. Those don’t sounds like detailed war plans,” Coglianese said.

“No. There weren’t details and there was nothing in there that was compromised,” Trump replied. “And it had no impact on the attack which was very successful. It was a very, very successful attack and it was an attack that Biden should’ve done three years ago and he didn’t do it. It would’ve been a lot easier three years ago. But we’re having very good luck on the attack. It’s an attack that has continued.”

The president further said his administration will “get to the bottom” of how Goldberg got added to the chat.
