WASHINGTON—A journalist known for his critical pieces on President Donald Trump was inadvertently added to a national security group chat in which top Trump officials discussed airstrikes in Yemen, the White House confirmed on Monday afternoon.
“This appears to be an authentic message chain, and we are reviewing how an inadvertent number was added to the chain,” said National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes. “The thread is a demonstration of the deep and thoughtful policy coordination between senior officials. The ongoing success of the Houthi operation demonstrates that there were no threats to troops or national security.”
