Top US official meant to add spokesman to Houthi Signal chat
A series of mishaps were responsible for a Washington journalist being added to a high-level group chat among top US national security officials last month, according to media reports citing an internal White House investigation.
Sources told the BBC's US partner CBS News and the Guardian that US National Security Adviser Mike Waltz had been trying to add a top spokesman to the Signal chat when he inadvertently added Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg instead.
They said investigators found that Goldberg's number had been accidentally saved in Waltz's phone as an alternative contact for national security spokesman Brian Hughes.

Admit it, amongst all the other chaos you almost forgot about this appalling error.
Intelligence Assessment Said to Contradict Trump on Venezuelan Gang
President Trump’s assertion that a gang is committing crimes in the United States at the direction of Venezuela’s government was critical to his invocation of a wartime law last week to summarily deport people whom officials suspected of belonging to that group.
But American intelligence agencies circulated findings last month that stand starkly at odds with Mr. Trump’s claims, according to officials familiar with the matter. The document, dated Feb. 26, summarized the shared judgment of the nation’s spy agencies that the gang was not controlled by the Venezuelan government.
The disclosure calls into question the credibility of Mr. Trump’s basis for invoking a rarely used wartime law, the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, to transfer a group of Venezuelans to a high-security prison in El Salvador last weekend, with no due process.
The intelligence community assessment concluded that the gang, Tren de Aragua, was not directed by Venezuela’s government or committing crimes in the United States on its orders, according to the officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.

The correct answer is both.
No experienced NSA would been so incompetent as to make the mistake not only of adding a reporter to a Signal chat, but of having such a text chat occur on an unsecure means of communication.
I'm struggling to imagine any other admin intentionally violating black letter law after an assessment of our intel agencies that the pretense its illegal actions was a fiction. One that it ignored because the assessment was an inconvenient truth.
Sadly, these are but two in a long list of incompetent, callous, illegal acts. Ones trump devotees unfathomably find ways to dismiss.
Happily, the rest of the country has taken notice.

Compared to the COLOSSAL ERRORS of the Afghan debacle and the floating dock for Gaza/Hamas that got a U.S. sailor killed......? Billions of tax dollars wasted on complete and utter failures.
You should just shut up.
