- Cutting Through the Noise of the Signal Scandal – with James BallSignal is, for most of us, a perfectly secure messaging app. It is though not the tool senior government figures should use to plan imminent military action on their mobile phones. And they certainly should not add a journalist to the chat if they do so. Sometimes, the best scoops just pop up in your lap. That’s exactly what happened to The Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg. James Ball, author and political editor of The New European, joins host Charlotte Henry to discuss The Atlantic getting hold of attack plans from the Trump Administration and how Goldberg handled the story.The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans – The AtlanticHere Are the Attack Plans That Trump’s Advisers Shared on Signal – The AtlanticSignal and a Lot of Noise – House of CommentsJames Ball on TwitterJames Ball on BlueskyJames Ball at The New EuropeanCharlotte Henry on BlueskyCharlotte Henry on ThreadsCharlotte Henry on InstagramCharlotte Henry TikTok33 min
