Hillary Clinton on Friday excoriated President Donald Trump and his administration for their handling of the embarrassing leak of U.S. military attack plans to a journalist who was accidentally added to a Signal app text thread with other top officials this month.

“It’s not the hypocrisy that bothers me; it’s the stupidity,” Clinton wrote in a New York Times opinion piece.

“We’re all shocked — shocked! — that President Trump and his team don’t actually care about protecting classified information or federal record retention laws,” the former secretary of state wrote.

“But we knew that already.”
