Live updates: Atlantic reveals assault plans shared in Signal after Trump officers denied they contained categorised info | EUROtoday

President Donald Trump responds to The Atlantic publishing extra texts this morning from the Signal chat.

In an interview with Vince Coglianese, the president stated: “There weren’t details, and there was nothing in there that compromised, and it had no impact on the attack, which was very successful.”

Trump continues to push a concept that one thing nefarious occurred that allowed editor Jeffrey Goldberg to entry the textual content group — regardless of National Security Adviser Mike Waltz taking full duty and the screenshots confirming he added Goldberg to the group chat.

“A thing like that, maybe Goldberg found a way. Maybe there’s a staffer, maybe there’s a very innocent staffer, but … I think we’ll get to the bottom of it very quickly and it’s really not a big deal.”

The publication of The Atlantic’s bombshell reporting on the Trump administration’s Signal safety breach couldn’t have come at a extra awkward time for Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and FBI Director Kash Patel, who’re in the course of spending two days on Capitol Hill briefing lawmakers in public on safety threats to the nation.

The Supreme Court has upheld Biden’s laws on “ghost guns” or untraceable firearms that may be assembled by shopping for a components package on-line. Justices agreed that the laws are OK however “ghost guns” meet the definition of a “firearm” because it’s described within the Gun Control Act – a long-standing federal regulation that regulates weapons.

Interestingly, this opinion contained images of weapons to point out how they’re categorised as weapons. We not often get images in opinions in order that’s type of enjoyable.

The opinion was 7-2 with Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissenting

Podcast host, Army veteran, and political marketing consultant Fred Wellman raises an fascinating level — did Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sort out the assault plan he despatched out within the Signal group chat, or did he copy and paste it from one other doc or message?

This begs the query, what else is on his cellphone?

The world’s richest man has issued an ominous message to veteran Democratic congresswoman Maxine Waters, 86, after she was filmed suggesting that First Lady Melania Trump needs to be investigated and presumably deported from the United States.

Waters got here below hearth from Musk after a video of her talking at an anti-Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) rally on the weekend in Los Angeles went viral.

Madeline Sherratt has the story.

With Trump seemingly reluctant to be drawn into this mess, it’s been as much as Leavitt and the vp to reply to date, with the latter as soon as extra attacking Jeffrey Goldberg’s credibility.

Here’s a counterpoint from our personal Andrew Feinberg:

US District Judge James Boasberg, with whom the president just lately tangled over the deportation of alleged Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador, has been assigned the lawsuit introduced by American Oversight over the Signalgate debacle.

Trump’s response to that little growth goes to be fairly one thing…

While the administration may quibble over the distinction between “war plans” and “attack plans”, there now appears little doubt that the data shared within the Signal chat was extremely delicate and went into element on precisely what was deliberate for the Houthis on the Red Sea, calling into severe query the denials we’ve heard to date that categorised materials was shared.
