    I thought it was quite clear in the Atlantic article that there were references to undercover or active agents and that leaking that information would put them in danger. Also on another note I was thinking about today, am I crazy or did Trump leak some text or messages in his first administration that led to the deaths of active intelligence agents? I can’t seem to find anything about it.

    Didn’t he say that he deleted everything once he verified that the texts were real? I haven’t read the article yet, but the title seems peculiar

    Edit: now, having read the article, my question persists

      I believe he said that he logged out of the chat as soon as he verified the texts were real, and that the texts in the chat were set to auto-delete in 1 to 4 weeks (different texts set to expire at different times).

      As the other commenter said, he left the chat. No way he didn’t vigorously archive every aspect of the chat he was party to.
