In their own words: Trump officials shrugging off Signal leak once decried Clinton’s server​

By WILL WEISSERT
Updated 12:16 AM CDT, March 26, 2025

WASHINGTON (AP) — The attempts by President Donald Trump and top leaders of his administration to downplay a security breach that revealed military strike plans in a Signal group chat including a journalist stand in stark contrast to their reaction to Hillary Clinton’s use of a home server as secretary of state.

This time, they’ve largely focused their ire not on sweeping potential security lapses, or punishments as a result, but on the journalist who was errantly added to the group text and reported on it: editor-in-chief for The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg. Some of the text’s participants who spoke out against Clinton haven’t commented publicly at all about the Signal leak.

One of the chief concerns about Clinton’s email server was that it was insecure, and that sensitive information could fall into the wrong hands. But former FBI Director James Comey said in recommending that no charges be brought against Clinton that there was no evidence that her email account had been hacked by hostile actors.

Trump insisted Tuesday that no classified information was divulged in the group chat, though Goldberg wrote that messaging revealed “precise information about weapons packages, targets, and timing” of strikes in Yemen. The White House’s National Security Council has said it is investigating.

Chicago — Steve Walter's family has been fixing cars on Chicago's North Side for 70 years.

"I'm fourth generation," Walter said. "My grandfather worked on pre-war Italian race cars."

Walter's mechanics replace metal more often than they repair it, so he's bracing for the impact of President Trump's newly announced 25% tariffs on all vehicles and auto parts imported into the U.S., set to take effect April 2.

"Those tariffs are going to increase the average repair order," Walter said.

He also believes that the tariffs will drive up auto insurance...
