Hillary Clinton and Piers Morgan unite in outrage over Trump officials sharing war plans in leaked chat

WASHINGTON, DC: Hillary Clinton and Piers Morgan have found common ground in condemning members of President Donald Trump’s cabinet for their alleged mishandling of classified war plans.

The controversy erupted after The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, reported that he had been included in a Signal group chat where top national security officials openly discussed airstrikes in Yemen.

The messages, according to Goldberg, contained detailed information about weapons packages, targets, and the timing of military operations.

The revelations have sparked bipartisan concerns about national security, with Clinton describing the incident as both "reckless" and "dangerously incompetent."

Meanwhile, Morgan took to social media and his television platform to criticize the officials involved, arguing that if such a breach had occurred under former president Joe Biden, Republican outrage would have been immediate and severe.

Hillary Clinton, who served as Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013, expressed her disbelief that high-ranking officials could have been so careless with military intelligence.

Reacting to Morgan’s post on X, she wrote, "Never thought I’d be retweeting Piers Morgan, but he’s right!"

Her comment underscored the gravity of the situation and signaled an unusual alliance with the British commentator, who has been a frequent critic of Clinton and Democratic leadership in the past.

Morgan, who hosts Uncensored, was equally scathing in his assessment of the situation. In his opening monologue, he criticized the apparent lack of discretion shown by Trump’s senior officials.

"If you don’t consider this to be classified info about imminent war plans, it may be that you’re too partisan to recognize the truth when it slaps you around your tribal chops," he wrote in his viral social media post.

He then pointed out the hypocrisy of the Republican response, adding, "If this had happened on Biden’s watch, Republicans would have rightly gone berserk."

Trump has yet to directly address the allegations, but the White House has stated that the situation is "under review."

National Security Council Spokesman Brian Hughes confirmed that the messages "appeared to be an authentic message chain" and "merited further review."

However, some Trump allies have attempted to downplay the significance of the leaked chat, dismissing the controversy as overblown.

Jeffrey Goldberg’s revelations

The controversy stems from a Signal group chat involving some of the most powerful figures in Trump’s administration, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Middle East and Ukraine negotiator Steve Witkoff, and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz.

According to Goldberg, the discussion included details that should have been kept within the highest levels of government.

Goldberg revealed that, while he refrained from publishing certain aspects of the chat to protect American troops, the recklessness displayed in the conversation was deeply troubling.

One of the more shocking exchanges involved Vice President JD Vance, who reportedly expressed concern that the discussion contradicted Trump’s foreign policy stance.

"I am not sure the president is aware how inconsistent this is with his message on Europe right now," Vance allegedly wrote in the chat.

The Atlantic editor further noted that the officials involved in the conversation did not seem to recognize the sensitivity of the information they were sharing, a lapse that he found "alarming beyond belief."

Pete Hegseth and other officials deny wrongdoing

Despite the growing controversy, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has strongly denied that any classified information was mishandled.

Speaking to reporters at a Hawaiian airport soon after the leak, Hegseth lashed out at Goldberg, calling him a "deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who’s made a profession of peddling hoaxes time and time again."

"Nobody was texting war plans!" Hegseth insisted, dismissing the reports as another attempt by the mainstream media to attack Trump’s administration.

Other officials mentioned in the chat have also remained largely silent on the matter, though some have echoed Hegseth’s statements, labeling the coverage "sensationalized" and "misleading," according to OK Magazine.
