Full Signal text chain has been released.
There’s nothing in it but the pros and cons of striking now vs waiting a month.
It’s not war plans. It’s not classified info.
It’s a conversation, and nice to see cabinet members and staffers hashing out the best way to move forward.… pic.twitter.com/OTNYgHr3VP

It was reported on Monday that Jeffrey Goldberg, the anti-Trump editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, claimed he was accidentally added to a secure Signal group chat where top Trump administration officials discussed sensitive military operations against Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen.
According to Jeffrey Goldberg, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Vice President JD Vance were in a Signal group called “Houthi PC small group,” discussing plans to strike terrorists in Yemen.
After the first release of chats from the Signal group, Jeffrey Goldberg vowed to release the ‘war plans’ discussed in the text chain.
Goldberg released the second round of messages from the chat group on Wednesday at it was clear that he over promised and under delivered.
Although no war plans were discussed in the “Houthi PC small group” on Signal, the main question is, how did Mike Waltz add Jeffrey Goldberg to the chat group if he insists he has never spoken to him? How was Jeffrey Goldberg in his phone contacts?
On Tuesday evening, Mike Waltz said he takes full responsibility for what happened since he is the one who created the Signal chat group.
Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham could not understand how Jeffrey Goldberg ended up in Mike Waltz’s phone in the first place if he has never spoken to him before.
“But you’ve never talked to him [Jeffrey Goldberg] before, so how’s the number on your phone?” Laura Ingraham asked Waltz.
Waltz replied, “Well, if you have somebody else’s contact and then somehow it gets sucked in, it gets sucked in.”
Although Mike Waltz insists he has never spoken to Jeffrey Goldberg, it appears they might actually know each other.
According to investigative reporter Paul Sperry, Mike Waltz was a source for Jeffrey Goldberg while he was serving on the House Intel Committee.
Per Paul Sperry: Though Waltz insists, “I wasn’t talking to [Goldberg],” a US intel official told me Waltz was a source for Goldberg while on HPSCI. “There’s no need for an investigation to figure out how he was added to the chat.Goldberg was in his address book b/c he’s been talking to him”
Additionally, Mike Waltz attended an event moderated by Jeffrey Goldberg in 2021.
Waltz was photographed standing near Goldberg.
Michael Waltz claimed that he’s “never met, don’t know, never communicated with” Jeffrey Goldberg.
