Hillary Clinton has brutal response after Trump administration leaked war plans to journalist

Clinton didn't hold back when it came to reaction to the news

Hillary Clinton has made her thoughts clear on a recent mistake made by the Trump administration regarding it's top secret military plans.

It was recently revealed that The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg was added to a group chat on the messaging app, Signal.

In the chat, the likes of National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Vice-President JD Vance, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth were included.

The senior officials discussed the government's military plans to issue strikes on Yemen, which took place on March 15 and killed over 30 people, The Guardian reported at the time.

The world went on to learn of the attacks after they happened, but Goldberg was privy to such plans two hours before.

In fact, he'd been added to the group chat discussing the matter in the days leading up to it.

Goldberg's bombshell article was published yesterday (March 24), which detailed the whole debacle and what information he saw.

It's since been revealed that Waltz, or a member of his team, accidentally added him to the private chat — something which President Trump has now responded to.

Speaking in a phone interview with NBC News, the POTUS said: "Michael Waltz has learned a lesson, and he’s a good man.

"It was one of Michael’s people on the phone," Trump added. "A staffer had [Goldberg's] number on there."

And Hillary Clinton has wasted no time in reacting to the Trump administration's mistake as well.

Sharing a screenshot of Goldberg's article to Twitter, Clinton wrote next to an emoji of a pair of eyes: "You have got to be kidding me."


While Trump has seemingly shrugged the whole thing off, Goldberg has since made the valid point that it was fortunate that someone who supports the Houthis (a Zaydi Shia Islamist political and military organization that the US has been targeting in Yemen) wasn't added to the chat.

"I mean, at least it wasn't somebody who supported the Houthis, because they were actually handing out information that I believe could have endangered the lives of American service people who were involved in that operation," he told PBS.

As well as this, if it was someone who was a Houthis supporter, they could have forewarned the group about America's planned attacks and they wouldn't have been as 'highly successful and effective' (as described by White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt).
