The controversy continues in the highest echelons of President Donald Trump’s government in the United States, after journalist Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, revealed that he was mistakenly included in a chat where cabinet members were discussing an attack on the Houthis in Yemen. Pete Hegseth, head of the Pentagon, denied this assertion, but despite this, when the media outlet’s management asked the White House if they should publish the chat, the response was a “no”. However, they went ahead and published it.
