US officials discussed sensitive national security issues in Signal messenger, including topics related to Russia's war against Ukraine. Mike Voltz, US Presidential Advisor to National Security, initiated numerous chats, which raised important issues, including a strategy for peaceful settlement of conflict between Ukraine and Russia. However, the unexpected error of the Voltz, which is associated with the addition of the number of Atlantic Jeffrey Goldberg in one of these conversations, led to a serious crisis for him in the Trump administration.
According to information provided by two US officials, Mike Voltz organized a number of confidential chats that considered strategies to reach peace in Ukraine and discuss details of military operations in different regions. However, although these chats concerned important national and international problems, the greatest resonance in the media has not caused the content of discussions, but a mistake related to the personal contact of the Voltz.
The reason for the crisis was the situation where Voltz accidentally added to the chat number Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor -in -chief of Atlantic , which caused a negative reaction from President Donald Trump. For Trump, such a mistake was a serious violation of trust, as it could have caused the leakage of sensitive information. Trump accused Voltz of violating national security principles and discussing his resignation with high -ranking officials, such as Vice president Jay Di Vance and the head of Susie Wiles.
Despite the conversation about the possible release of the Voltz, on March 27, the US President during a personal meeting told his adviser that he would remain in his position. According to the sources, Trump did not want the issue of the resignation of the Voltz to be public, as it could have had negative consequences for the image of his administration.
