Members of a Trump administration chat group — which inadvertently leaked U.S. military operations in Yemen to a journalist — reportedly partied with the president at a $1-million-a-seat fundraising dinner at Mar-a-Lago after the plotted bombings took place.

Hours after the alarming breach of national security involving the journalist, and the fatal bombings in Yemen, which both took place March 15, several members of the Signal chat group attended the “candlelight fundraising dinner,” Wired reported.

Some 53 people, including children, were killed in the attacks on Yemen.

The dinner event included guests who had been on the chat earlier before the bombings: National Security Adviser Michael Waltz, White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, according to Wired.

Others apparently included were Trump’s Middle East and Ukraine negotiator Steve Witkoff, and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Wired reported. Elon Musk and his 4-year-old son also attended.
