US officers downplay a journalist being included in Yemen assault chats, but it surely sheds gentle on workings of the White Home.
If the sharing of personal chats of high United States intelligence officers with a reporter “had been part of an episode of Veep [a satirical US TV series], I wouldn’t have believed it”, former Pentagon official Alex Wagner says.
The chats touched on Yemen, Europe, and different overseas and home coverage considerations.
Wagner and navy affairs journalist Kevin Baron inform host Steve Clemons that the inadvertent inclusion of the journalist within the Sign group chats signifies a stage of “carelessness” that’s extra insidious than the Trump administration cares to confess.
Regardless of the gravity of the error, nobody expects any accountability for the officers concerned.
