National security analyst Hal Kempfer joins LiveNOW's Andrew Craft to discuss national security questions surrounding the Trump administration's war plans leak on the Signal messenger app.

Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, was allegedly included in a group chat with top national security officials that discussed war plans for upcoming military strikes in Yemen.

Goldberg published an article about this purported mishap on Monday.

After landing in Hawaii on Monday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth responded to the allegations, saying:

"You’re talking about a deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who’s made a profession of peddling hoaxes," Hegseth said about Goldberg." This is a guy who peddles in garbage."

Earlier Monday, the White House said the text thread appeared to be "authentic."

The text chain allegedly contained sensitive information about "operation details of forthcoming strikes on Iran-backed Houthi-rebels in Yemen."

This includes information about "targets, weapons the U.S. would be deploying, and attack sequencing," Goldberg reported.

It was not immediately clear if the specifics of the military operation were classified, but they often are and at the least are kept secure to protect service members and operational security.

The U.S. has conducted airstrikes against the Houthis since the militant group began targeting commercial and military vessels in the Red Sea in November 2023.

Just two hours after Goldberg received the details of the attack on March 15, the U.S. began launching a series of airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen.
