In a passionate response to recent accusations from the left-leaning publication The Atlantic, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has categorically dismissed claims that he and other leading figures from the Trump administration mistakenly shared classified military strategies through a group chat.

According to reporting from , Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic with a well-documented anti-Trump stance, concocted a sensational narrative claiming he was “accidentally” added to a secure Signal group chat that included high-profile Trump officials.

This alleged chat supposedly contained sensitive information regarding military operations against the Iran-aligned Houthi militants in Yemen. Goldberg suggests that notable figures such as National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Vice President J.D. Vance were part of what he termed a “Houthi PC small group,” scheming a long-overdue response against the Houthis.

Let’s not mince words—Goldberg’s history is littered with dubious anti-Trump narratives, from the discredited “suckers and losers” story to his persistent Russia collusion theories. Now, he’s spinning a yarn of inadvertently stumbling into a digital command center, claiming the saga began with a Signal connection request from Mike Waltz on March 11.

Goldberg alleges that Waltz extended an invitation to join the chat on March 13, mere days before U.S. military strikes commenced against Houthi targets.

When questioned about the incident, former President Donald Trump claimed ignorance. “I don’t know anything about it. I’m not a big fan of The Atlantic. To me, it’s a magazine that’s going out of business. I think it’s not much of a magazine, but I know nothing about it,” Trump stated. He added, “The Houthis? You mean the attack on the Houthis? Well, it couldn’t have been very effective because the attack was very effective, I can tell you that. I don’t know anything about it. You’re telling me about it for the first time.”

After arriving at a military base in Pearl Harbor, Secretary Hegseth confronted these allegations directly.

Hegseth ridiculed Goldberg’s account as pure fiction, labeling him a “deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist” whose career is built on disseminating hoaxes.

Reporter:
Your information about war plans against the Houthis in Yemen was shared with a journalist in The Atlantic. Were those details classified?

Sec. Hegseth:
You’re talking about a deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who’s made a profession of peddling hoaxes time and time again, including the hoaxes of Russia, Russia, Russia, the “fine people on both sides” hoax, and the “Suckers and Losers” hoax. This is the guy that peddles in garbage. This is what he does.

I would love to comment on the Houthi campaign because of the skill and courage of our troops. I’ve monitored it very closely from the beginning. We’ve been managing four years of deferred maintenance under the Trump administration.

Our troops and sailors were getting shot at as targets. Our ships couldn’t sail through. And when they did shoot back, it was purely defensively or at shacks in Yemen.

President Trump said, “No more. We will reestablish deterrence, open freedom of navigation, and ultimately decimate the Houthis,” which is exactly what we’re doing as we speak from the beginning, overwhelmingly.

Reporter:
Why were those details shared on Signal? And how did you learn that a journalist was privy to the targets, the types of weapons used, and the timing?

Sec. Hegseth:
I’ve heard that was characterized. Nobody was texting war plans, and that’s all I have to say about that. Alright, I appreciate it. That’s it.
