It's Monday, the 7th of April. Welcome to the PDB Afternoon Bulletin. I'm Mike Baker, your eyes and ears on the world stage. Alright, let's get briefed. We'll start things off with new revelations about that warplans chat group on Signal. Remember that? It was a bizarre story that captured the headlines for a few days.

And then, much like everything else that happens in Washington, D.C., it disappeared from view. We're now learning how the Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg ended up in the chat about U.S. strikes in Yemen. It all traces back to a contact mix-up, an old campaign email, and one very unhelpful iPhone.

Later in the show, several powerful Iranian-backed militia groups in Iraq are reportedly prepared to disarm for the first time to avert the threat of an escalating conflict with the US Trump administration. But first, today's afternoon spotlight.

We're finally learning the details of exactly how Atlantic Magazine Editor Jeffrey Goldberg wound up in a Signal Group Chat, where senior Trump administration officials were discussing upcoming military strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen. Und die Antwort ist, es war ein Kontakt-Liste-Mix-Up auf einem iPhone. Ja, natürlich war es das. Es ist ein sehr 2020er Fehler.

Sprechend mit The Guardian in den USA, drei Gründer, die sich mit der internen Investition der White House kennengelernt haben, sagten, dass die Tafel für den Unfall im Oktober war, während der Präsidenten-Kampagne. Goldberg hatte die Trump-Kampagne e-mailt, über eine kritische Geschichte, die er geschrieben hatte, eine, die Trumps Ansprüche auf schmerzhafte Serviceleute beantwortete.

In response, the campaign brought in Congressman Mike Waltz, a national security surrogate, to push back. Now, here's where it gets, let's call it unusual. Goldberg's email, which included his signature block and phone number, you know how emails do sometimes, was forwarded to Waltz by Trump-Campaign-Spokesman Brian Hughes, who just copied and pasted the whole thing into a text.
