A journalist who is part of the White House Signal group chat has disclosed additional messages following denials from the Trump administration. Here is a summary of significant US political developments from March 26, 2025.
The Atlantic has released new messages from a group chat involving high-ranking US officials, where they discuss detailed operational plans for bombing Yemen, despite assertions from Donald Trump and other officials that the information was not classified.
The publication included several messages exchanged between Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth—who claimed on Tuesday that “nobody was texting war plans”—and leading intelligence officials.
Democrats have accused the administration of dishonesty and utilized an intelligence committee hearing on Wednesday to seek clarification on how operational military plans can be considered unclassified.
Additional Signal messages from Trump officials have been made public. The newly revealed communications regarding the Yemen attack provide insights into US bombings, drone operations, and other aspects of the military action, including weather conditions and specific weaponry used.
The Atlantic noted, “There is a clear public interest in revealing the type of information that Trump advisers shared through unsecured communication channels, particularly as senior administration officials attempt to minimize the importance of the messages exchanged.”
