Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) might be the happiest man in Washington this week. Jeffrey Goldberg’s shocking exposé about his inexplicable inclusion in a Signal chat with 18 senior national security officials has completely overshadowed calls for Schumer to step down from his leadership role in the Democratic Party.
Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic and a vocal critic of President Donald Trump, claimed that on March 11, he unexpectedly received a Signal connection request from national security adviser Mike Waltz, which he accepted. Shortly after, he was added to a chat that included Waltz, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Vice President JD Vance. The discussion focused on the military strikes against Houthi targets across Yemen.
