Donald Trump's national security adviser Mike Waltz included a journalist in the Signal group chat about plans for US strikes in Yemen after he mistakenly saved his number months before.

The mistake was one of several missteps that came to light in the White House’s internal investigation, which showed a series of compounding slips that went unnoticed until Waltz created the group chat last month .

Trump briefly considered firing Waltz over the episode, more angered by the fact that Waltz had the number of Jeffrey Goldberg , the editor of the Atlantic a magazine he despises.
