Atlantic editor-in-chief mistakenly placed on Trump officials’ war plans group chat

Goldberg tells NBC News’ Andrea Mitchell he thought the chat was a hoax at first because he could not believe the officials would have “such poor operational security.” For more context and news coverage of the most important stories of our day, click here: https://www.nbcnews.com » Subscribe to NBC News: http://nbcnews.to/SubscribeToNBC » Watch more NBC video: http://bit.ly/MoreNBCNews NBC News Digital is a collection of innovative and powerful news brands that deliver compelling, diverse and engaging news stories.
