Hillary Clinton on war plans leak: ‘You’ve got to be kidding me’

Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton shared her surprise Monday about a report from The Atlantic’s editor, who said he was swept up in a text message chain with top Trump administration officials on plans for an attack on Houthi rebels.

“You have got to be kidding me,” Clinton said on X, sharing the eyes emoji along with The Atlantic article.

Clinton’s use of a private server for classified emails while she was President Obama’s secretary of State was a major issue in the 2016 campaign. She was criticized by Trump and his supporters consistently on it.

Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, wrote Monday that he was invited to a group chat on Signal in which top officials debated and then discussed details of attacks in Yemen earlier this month.

Trump said he knew nothing on the report after Brian Hughes, the spokesman for the National Security Council, confirmed the message chain was authentic.
