White House internal investigation reveals exactly how journalist was added to top-secret Signal chat revealing war plansIt was the screw-up heard 'round the world, and now - after weeks of speculation - three White House moles reveal just how Mike Waltz's now-notorious group chat leak occurred.Speaking to The Guardian Sunday, the sources gave a first-time glimpse into the White House's probe into the slip-up - and several 'missteps' made by Waltz in the process.The first, they said, occurred during the 2024 campaign. The last was the security advisor's inclusion of Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg in the unsecured Signal chat.In it, figures such as JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, National Security Advisor Michael Waltz, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth discussed the ongoing military strikes occurring in Yemen in real-time - all while Goldberg was present.The White House went on to confirm the breach - as figures like Hegseth denied it. Such claims were quickly put to bed by Goldberg late last month, when the Atlantic released several of the messages in question.They showed high-powered chat-members openly discussing forthcoming strikes on the Houthis in Yemen - strikes that ultimately came to fruition.This caused many to question the Trump team's security practices - a dynamic that seemingly gave way to several officials who'd worked under Waltz being abruptly fired Thursday.Despite Waltz being spared, a 'forensic review' from the White House appeared to peg him as the one at fault - showing how he mistakenly saved Goldberg’s number after the latter contacted the Trump campaign last October.
