Trump downplays mistaken sharing of military plans with journalist
President Trump is downplaying the sharing of Yemen attack plans to a group chat that included a journalist. Democrats and Republicans alike criticized the incident as a serious national security breach, but the president called it “the only glitch in two months” of his administration. He claimed on NBC News that it didn’t turn out to be a “serious” matter and he expressed confidence in his national security adviser. Earlier this month, the editor-in-chief for The Atlantic received details of a U-S military attack in a secure messaging app two hours before the airstrikes began.
