Former Democratic U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was stunned by the revelations from The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, who revealed on Monday that he was accidentally added to a group chat with some of the Trump administration’s top national security officials,

Pete Buttigieg is pressing President Donald Trump to punish national security adviser Mike Waltz for his “screw-up” of including the Atlantic’s editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, in a group chat in which war plans were being discussed.

Former Transportation Secretary criticized the Trump administration's handling of sensitive information after officials texted war plans to a journalist.

Earlier this month, Buttigieg, who is a military veteran, said he was “p*ssed off” with the current presidential administration’s “slash-and-burn” proposal to cut 80,000 employees from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). An estimated 25% of VA employees are military veterans.

The former Navy intelligence officer said the Trump administration's failure to safeguard the operation was 'the highest level of f­­­-up imaginable'
