A leaked report has revealed Vice President JD Vance sent a message to a confidential government group chat at 2:36 a.m. The message read, \u201cThis chat\u2019s kind of dead. Anything going on?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This chat, titled \u2018Houthi PC small group,\u2019 included high-level officials and was used to discuss U.S. military strikes in Yemen. It became controversial in March when a journalist was accidentally added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The journalist was Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of *The Atlantic*, who was mistakenly added by National Security Adviser Mike Waltz. Waltz later took responsibility but criticized Goldberg\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An investigation into the use of the private messaging app for official business followed. A report released on December 2 included a screenshot of Vance\u2019s late-night message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The screenshot, shared widely on social media, sparked amusement. Many users concluded the other officials had likely started a new group chat without Vance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Comments suggested he was excluded, with one person calling him the \u201cmost relatable politician.\u201d Others speculated his message was a joke about the breached chat\u2019s security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether a genuine inquiry or a humorous remark, the incident highlights the informal and sometimes precarious nature of digital communication within the highest levels of government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
