Hillary Clinton said the Trump Administration officials who discussed a forthcoming strike on a Houthi target in a Signal chat to which a journalist was accidentally added “put our troops in jeopardy”.Clinton, a former secretary of state in the Obama Administration, made the comments in an opinion piece for The New York Times published on Friday morning.Her use of a private email server for official correspondence was the target of intense criticism by her Republican opponents—including President Donald Trump—during the 2016 presidential election when she was the Democratic nominee.”It’s not the hypocrisy that bothers me; it’s the stupidity,” Clinton wrote for the Times.”We’re all shocked — shocked! — that President Trump and his team don’t actually care about protecting classified information or federal record retention laws. But we knew that already.”What’s much worse is that top Trump administration officials put our troops in jeopardy by sharing military plans on a commercial messaging app and unwittingly invited a journalist into the chat. That’s dangerous. And it’s just dumb.”This is a developing story and more information will be added shortly.
