Phone contact error exposes private military discussions: White House investigation triggered, no leaks, Trump refrains from firing adviser.

US National Security Adviser Mike Waltz found himself in an awkward situation when a phone contact error resulted in journalist Jeffrey Goldberg being added to a private Signal group discussing potential military strikes in Yemen. The mishap was attributed to an auto-save feature on Waltz’s iPhone, leading to a White House investigation. Despite no classified information being leaked, the incident did not sit well with President Trump, who decided against firing Waltz. The unintentional inclusion of a journalist in the confidential communication sparked concerns about security protocols. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safeguarding sensitive information and the potential risks associated with technological mishaps. The White House’s response to the incident underscores the need for heightened vigilance in communication practices, particularly in matters related to national security.
