Atlantic Magazine published a fresh message from the group chat among top US officials discussing specific operational details of their plans to bomb Yemen after Donald Trump and other executives alleged that the information was not classified.
It recreated numerous messages from a text chat between Pentagon chief Pete Hegzes, who said on Tuesday “no one has texted the war plan.”

“There is a clear public interest in disclosing the kind of information that includes Trump’s advisors on unsecured communications channels, particularly as senior manager figures try to underestimate the importance of shared messages,” the Atlantic wrote.
