Senate Armed Services Committee Chair Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) and Ranking Member Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) have called on the Pentagon’s acting inspector general to investigate the circumstances surrounding a Signal group chat in which senior government officials discussed military strike plans.
In a March 26 letter to Acting Inspector General Steven Stebbins, the senators cited reporting by The Atlantic that its editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, had been inadvertently added to the encrypted chat, which included members of the National Security Council. The chat involved information related to military operations in Yemen.
