I am writing to express my deep concern and outrage over the recent revelations that senior Trump administration officials mistakenly shared classified Yemen war plans with an unsecured non-government chat platform, as reported by Jeffrey Goldberg. This alarming lapse in judgment and security jeopardized U.S. military strategy and potentially put American lives at risk.
It is unacceptable that individuals entrusted with our national security could be so reckless with sensitive information. These actions undermine our nation's credibility, weaken diplomatic relations, and endanger our service members abroad. Such negligence must not be ignored or brushed aside. People have been sent to jail and lost security clearances for less blatant breaches of security.
I urge you to demand accountability for those responsible and take legislative action to strengthen safeguards against future breaches of classified military intelligence. Not to mention, the astounding hypocrisy that occurred. The American people deserve competent leadership that prioritizes national security over carelessness.
I look forward to your response and to seeing Congress take decisive steps to prevent such dangerous failures in the future.
