A folder with classified White House documents leaked to the public due to an error
In the United States, officials from the Office of General Services (GSA) accidentally shared a folder with classified White House documents. This was reported by The Washington Post (WP) on April 20.
"The records show that employees inadvertently shared a Google Drive folder containing confidential documents with the entire GSA staff, which numbers more than 11.2 thousand people," the publication said.
Among the published information was, for example, information about a special explosion-proof door for the White House visitor center.
"Nine of the 15 files placed in the Google Drive folder were marked by CUI as "controlled unclassified information," which means "confidential information that does not meet classification criteria, but must still be protected" according to government protocols," WP clarifies.
On March 25, it became known about the scandalous publication of The Atlantic magazine with a discussion of strikes against the Yemeni Houthis by the US administration. Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of the magazine, said that on March 11, he received a request to connect to Signal from a user under the nickname Mike Waltz. Two days later, he received a notification about adding the "Houthis small group" to the group chat. Then, on March 15, a user named Pete Hegseth posted a message that contained details of the upcoming strikes against the Houthis.
According to the screenshots, Hegseth sent information about the departure of American F-18 fighter jets 31 minutes before the start of the mission.
