Resign or Fired: Every Trump Official in the Signal War Chat Must Be Held Accountable Now.
Trump officials at the highest levels planned a military strike using the Signal messaging app, an unsecured commercial platform the National Security Agency had explicitly warned against. They discussed classified timelines, aircraft deployment, and target information. And, unbelievably, they invited a civilian journalist to the chat.
Michael Waltz, Trump’s National Security Adviser, added Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, to the Signal thread without realizing it. And still, nobody in the group stopped the conversation. Nobody questioned why there was an unknown number in a war-planning thread.
Instead, they continued leaking critical information, including a “TEAM UPDATE” so sensitive The Atlantic didn’t even publish it originally because they believed it could’ve endangered U.S. troops. When the authenticity of the reporting and the critical nature of the chats was lied about by the Trump administration, the Atlantic published it in full, including this text revealing detailed timing for imminent attacks:
Among those in the chat: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, and several other Trump loyalists.
Some offered “kudos” and emoji reactions after the attack. One, Steve Witkoff, was participating from Moscow, while meeting with Vladimir Putin. Let that sink in: war plans, leaked in real time, in a group chat, with someone literally inside Russia. Was Witkoff using unsecured Kremlin wifi too?
Now they’re lying about it. Hegseth claims “no classified info” was shared, even though independent national security experts and former Pentagon officials say that’s a flat-out lie. Others, like Gabbard and Ratcliffe, are denying the obvious. Trump himself brushed it off, calling Waltz a “good man” who “learned a lesson.”
This goes beyond incompetence. This is criminal recklessness. And no one, not a single one of them, has taken responsibility. They’re circling the wagons, covering it up, and hoping we forget. We can’t let that happen. We must demand accountability begin at the top, but it shouldn’t stop until everyone responsible and involved in this dangerous national security breach is gone.
Demand every Trump official in the Signal war chat, including Secretary Hegseth and National Security Adviser Waltz, resign or be fired by adding your name now.
