Hillary Clinton has brutal response after Trump administration leaked war plans to journalist
While Trump has seemingly shrugged the whole thing off, Goldberg has since made the valid point that it was fortunate that someone who supports the Houthis (a Zaydi Shia Islamist political and military organization that the US has been targeting in Yemen) wasn’t added to the chat.
“I mean, at least it wasn’t somebody who supported the Houthis, because they were actually handing out information that I believe could have endangered the lives of American service people who were involved in that operation,” he told PBS.
As well as this, if it was someone who was a Houthis supporter, they could have forewarned the group about America’s planned attacks and they wouldn’t have been as ‘highly successful and effective’ (as described by White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt).
