Trump criticizes The Atlantic; claims it's failing

independent.co.uk

President Donald Trump has denied knowing about a serious security breach involving his senior officials. Reports say that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Vice President JD Vance discussed military plans against Houthi positions in Yemen in a group chat. This chat mistakenly included Jeffrey Goldberg, the Editor-in-Chief of The Atlantic. When asked about the breach, Trump criticized The Atlantic, calling it "going out of business." His remarks came during his third cabinet meeting, where he faced mounting legal and economic challenges. These include issues surrounding immigration and new tariffs, as well as tensions involving the Department of Government Efficiency. In a related meeting, Elon Musk joined the cabinet discussions. This gathering was meant to follow up on previous talks where Trump had limited Musk's authority due to backlash over cuts to federal agencies. Meanwhile, Attorney General Pam Bondi has called for Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett to apologize for her critical comments about Musk, in light of recent incidents involving Tesla vehicles.
