Earlier this week, The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg released the full text chain of the group chat he was mistakenly included in by National Security Advisor Michael Waltz. One of the more revealing aspects of the Signal chat was how Vice President JD Vance pushed against the attack, calling the idea “a mistake” and questioning whether Trump was fully aware of “how inconsistent this is with his message on Europe right now.” Do Vance’s comments in what was intended to be a private setting portend trouble for the administration, or could they be a sign of something else?
