An inadvertent invitation to a group chat thrust The Atlantic's editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg into the center of an explosive national security breach that's put the White House on the defensive. Why it matters: Goldberg's decision to disclose the discussion of planned strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen and publish the group chat's contents has embroiled top Trump officials in scandal and exposed them to potential legal jeopardy.

The Washington Examiner’s Byron York weighed in on the Signal chat scandal during a radio interview on Wednesday, suggesting that Goldberg could have identified himself and alerted the White House regarding his access to the conversation.
