Pete Hegseth News and Blog Posts

The Atlantic (Left bias) published detailed plans about previous US military operations in the Middle East this week after head editor Jeffrey Goldberg mistakenly received them via Signal chat. The leak and The Atlantic’s subsequent reporting sparked a discussion among AllSides team members about the outlet’s handling of the information.

National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and other top Trump administration officials mistakenly included Jeffrey Goldberg, the Editor-in-Chief of The Atlantic (Left bias), in a messaging chain that detailed planned strikes against the Houthis in Yemen. The plans, shared by Hegseth, specified when the strikes would take place and which forces would be used.
