Quem é quem no escândalo do chat Signal
March 26, 2025 - A revista “The Atlantic” publicou a sequência completa de textos do secretário da Defesa Pete Hegseth a detalhar as operações a levar a cabo pelas forças armadas dos EUA num grupo de chat da Signal, depois de a Casa Branca desmentir que tivessem sido partilhados “planos de guerra”.
In an extraordinary national security breach, U.S. secret plans to strike Houthi rebels in Yemen were shared by senior officials in a group chat on the Signal app that included a journalist; The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg,
In a new report Goldberg has revealed what Hegseth told the "Houthi PC Small Group" on March 15 before the U.S. conducted airstrikes on Iran-backed Houthi sites and during the operation.
The report includes screen shots of the group texts, which detail drone targets, sequencing of the attacks and the type of weaponry used.
Signal app gives users the option to set messages to disappear after a specified period, which could potentially violate record-keeping laws.
