White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was trashed online after claiming that no “war plans” were discussed when a journalist for The Atlantic was included in a secret war-planning chat about recent strikes on Yemen.
“Jeffrey Goldberg is well-known for his sensationalist spin,” Leavitt wrote Tuesday on X after Goldberg’s report in the magazine, which describes war planning he was privy to on a Signal chat with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and others.
“No ‘war plans’ were discussed,” she insisted.
“No classified material was sent to the thread,” Leavitt continued. “The White House Counsel’s Office has provided guidance on a number of different platforms for President Trump’s top officials to communicate as safely and efficiently as possible.”
“Thanks to the strong and decisive leadership of President Trump, and everyone in the group, the Houthi strikes were successful and effective. Terrorists were killed and that’s what matters most to President Trump,” she added.
Commenters responded by slamming Leavitt for spinning the facts.

“You’re so bad at this,” The Lincoln Project opined.
“What spin was there? He received texts about secret plans to bomb Yemen and then reported on it. It sounds like you guys are the ones trying to spin things,” political commentator Brian Krassenstein pointed out.
“Normally, the focus would be on ensuring accountability and punishing those responsible for such a massive security breach, not deflecting,” Ukraine pundit Akash Maniam argued.
“Cupcake, you know he can call your bluff by printing the entire chat, right?” liberal commenter @Andie00471 said.
