The White House’s group chat screwup is even more ridiculous than we thought

Last month, Atlantic Ocean Editor Jeffrey Goldberg was In addition to the sign chat chat It turned a military strike in Yemen planned later that day. Now, sources inside the White House have Apparently it was said Guardian An internal investigation revealed the method of roundabout that occurred: Siri was useful.
When National Security Adviser Mike Walz Goldberg called for chatting, he was actually trying to add a Trump spokesman Guardian. The perpetrator says this because he agreed to suggest Siri to update the contact at some point before.
here GuardianS Description of how that happened:
According to three people who were informed of the internal investigation, Goldberg sent an email to the story that Trump criticized his position on the wounded service members. To back down from the story, the campaign was recruited with the help of Waltz, the national security alternative.
A Trump Brian Hughes, who then copied and pastes the email content – has been sent to the Goldberg phone number – to a text message he sent to Waltz, until he was briefed on the next story.
Then:
According to the White House, the number was mistakenly saved during the “Uphone” by Waltz, which one person described as the job in which the iPhone algorithm adds an unknown number to an existing contact that may be linked.

But perhaps I should not have the opportunity to Siri in the national security scandal in the first place. according to The guardian, The White House had authorized officials using the sign because “there is no alternative platform for text in actual time through different agencies.” Signal is a great platform for private messages, but it is still a consumer product, such as iPhone or Siri, and not a tight solution for high -level government officials to discuss the imminent military strikes. Siri’s participation in exposing the Yemen strike discussions is a great example of the reason.
