Raw Story: 'Laughable!' Morning Joe and Mika tag-team in takedown of 'staggering' security breach
Raw Story - 'Laughable!' Morning Joe and Mika tag-team in takedown of 'staggering' security breach

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski tag-teamed against the Donald Trump officials who looped a reporter into an unsecured group chat to discuss top-secret war plans.
National security adviser Mike Waltz added The Atlantic's editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg to an encrypted Signal chat in which defense secretary Pete Hegseth disclosed war plans two hours before U.S. troops launched attacks against the Houthi militia in Yemen, the White House confirmed.
And the "Morning Joe" co-hosts tried to place the revelations into context.
"The cavalier nature of the texting," Brzezinski said, "along with the incredibly in-depth information about what was about to happen, is staggering and raises the question, how many of these chats are out there on different national security issues, and if anybody in charge cared about our national security, they'd be launching an investigation into this right now instead of attacking the press like this is an incredible breach of our own national, a self-induced breach, and also, I'm seeing the term leaked chat. This is not a leaked chat."
"This is a group chat that included our guest, Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor in chief of The Atlantic, who, and if it wasn't so damn serious, it would be laughable!" Brzezinski added. "But this group chat that included the editor in chief of The Atlantic, that was the mistake. Somebody by mistake included Jeffrey on a group chat, it was not leaked to the press. The press was included."
