‘Signalgate’ incident

Di first chat, wey national security adviser Mike Waltz set up, include some Cabinet members and e come out for public because Jeffrey Goldberg, wey be editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, join di group.

Di chat content, wey The Atlantic publish, show say Hegseth list di weapons systems and di timeline for di attack on Iran-backed Houthis for Yemen last month.

After Goldberg expose di first Signal chat for March, senior Trump administration officials, including Hegseth, deny say dem share any classified information among di participants.

"Nobody dey text war plans, and na wetin I get to tok about di mata be dat," Hegseth tell reporters.

Di "Signalgate" incident don raise plenty question about how di administration dey handle classified military tori after sensitive details about weapons packages, targets and timing reportedly dey share for di unsecured platform.
