Regarding the Trump administration’s recent error involving its top-secret military preparations, Hillary Clinton has expressed her opinions clearly.
Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, was recently discovered to have been added to a group chat on the messaging software Signal.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Vice-President JD Vance, and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz were among those in the conversation.
According to The Guardian at the time, the senior officials talked about the government’s military plans to launch strikes on Yemen, which occurred on March 15 and claimed over 30 lives.

Goldberg’s shocking piece, which described the entire fiasco and the data he observed, was released Tuesday, March 24.
President Trump has now responded to the revelation that Waltz or a member of his entourage unintentionally included him to the secret chat.

Additionally, Hillary Clinton has not wasted any time in responding to the error made by the Trump administration.
Clinton sent a screenshot of Goldberg’s story to Twitter, writing, “You have got to be kidding me,” next to an eye emoji.
Goldberg has since made the valid point that it was fortunate that someone who supports the Houthis—a Zaydi Shia Islamist political and military group that the US has been targeting in Yemen—was not added to the chat. “I mean, at least it wasn’t somebody who supported the Houthis, because they were actually handing out information that I believe could have endangered the lives of American service people who were involved in that operation,” he told PBS. In addition, if it had been a Houthis supporter, they could have warned the group about America’s planned attacks and they wouldn’t have been as “highly successful and effective” (as described by the White House
