Shortly after the senior officials of the Trump administration discussed and celebrated the bombing of Yemen in a Encrypted group cat This, without their knowledge, included the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic, a subset of the group feasted during an opulent and secret dinner featuring the president where the guests were invited to pay $ 1 million each to hang a seat.
The date was Saturday, March 15. President Donald Trump was in his field of Mar-A-Lago assistant at a “candlelia” dinner who was not part of his public calendar. On the lawn outside, luxury cars were exhibited: a Rolls Royce was parked near a Bugatti and Lamborghini. The guests have grilled, taking photos of each other and the vehicles. Earlier in the day, the United States had bombed Yemen, targeting Leadership Houthi. At least 53 people, including children, were killed.
Trump flew to the Air Force One event with Elon Musk and Musk’s four -year -old son, according to photos and videos visualized by Wired. Throughout the weekend, Musk was in close contact with Trump and at least a member of President Brain Trust who participated in a group cat cat where very sensitive details of the planned operation were shared. Experts say that the conversation seems to have violated government protocols on information sharing.
Participants in the candlelit dinner included the national security advisor Michael Waltz and the deputy chief of the White House for the Stephen Miller policy, according to a familiar source with the events. Secretary of State Marco Rubio was also present in Mar-A-Lago during the weekend, according to a photograph of the next day seen by Wired and confirmed by a familiar source with events.
The details of the signal group fiasco emerged because in the days preceding the bombing, a handful with the name of Michael Waltz had accidentally added Jeffrey Goldberg, editor of the Atlantic to a conversation, entitled “Houthi PC Small Group”. (He probably wanted to add to us the representative of trade Jamieson Greer, who has the same initials.) In a bomb story, The Atlantic reported On the off-book discussion on the plans to bomb Yemen. Waltz, Rubio and Miller all seemed to be in the signal group and, according to the exchange of messages reported by Goldberg, were actively engaged with the cat before the attack. Some members of the group only appeared by their initials.
The day before dinner, officials discussed the opportunity to bomb, among other things, the potential economic impact of air strike. The Atlantic reported that vice-president JD Vance, who also seemed to be in the signal cat, told the group that he thought that air strikes were a “error”.
According to the Atlantic report, Miller – who previously declared previously is called inside Trumpworld as “PM”, the Prime Minister’s abbreviation – actually closed the concern of Vance. “As I heard, the president was clear: the green light,” according to the Atlantic. On Saturday, at 1:48 am, the Waltz account and others sent a message to the group. “Incredible job,” wrote Waltz. “A good start,” wrote an account with the name of John Ratcliffe, director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). A person who passed “Mar” in the cat, identified by the Atlantic as probably “Marco Antonio Rubio”, wrote “Good Job Pete and your team !!” Referring to Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Defense. Waltz replied later: “The Evil team also did an excellent job”, referring to the team positioned in Mar-A-Lago, who included Miller, Waltz and Rubio. Trump’s team has long used stenography to refer to Mar-A-Lago.
