Dispute over The Atlantic's claim of 'attack plans' from Defense Secretary's private messages
The White House dismisses The Atlantic's claim of 'attack plans' from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's private Signal messages as false, stating that they were merely updates on an existing plan. National Security Adviser and Chief Pentagon Spokesman support this stance, emphasizing that there were no classified materials or war plans shared. The Department of Defense ridicules The Atlantic for changing their claim from 'war plans' to 'attack plans.' Director of National Intelligence also confirms no classified material was shared.
