“I take full responsibility. I set up this group; my job is to ensure that everything is coordinated,” Volcs told Lora Ingrem, presenter of Fox News, giving the first interview of this security violation.
Volcs added that he personally does not know Jeffrey Goldberg, editor -in -chief of The Atlantic magazine, who was unintentionally included in this chat group.
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday rejected security concerns about the scandal that has happened when a Signal Signal -Signal -US -based discussion on plans to hit Yemen‘s Hutan rebels was also included in the editor -in -chief of The Atlantic magazine.
Trump told NBC that it was “the only misunderstanding in two months, and it turned out to be serious”. The President added that his National Security Adviser Michael Volcs had “learned”.
White House spokeswoman Kerolain Levit, on the other hand, announced on the “X” platform that no war plans were discussed in chat of senior officials and no secret materials were sent.
As confirmed by the White House on Monday, Goldberg was unintentionally included in a chat group in which Defense Minister Pete Hegsets, Vice President James David Wens, and other Trump administration officials secretly discussed the planned shocks for Yemen’s Hutic rebels.
Trump officially announced these shocks on March 15, but Goldberg, editor -in -chief of The Atlantic magazine, said Monday that he had been informed about them in the group created by Signal, which he was unintentionally included in the platform.
Goldberg also stated that Hegsets had sent information about the impact on the targets, weapons that the US would use, and the order of goals in this group.
