US President Donald Trump’s national security adviser Mike Walz has taken full responsibility for including The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeff Goldberg in a «closed» chat on Signal, Foxnews reports.
In this chat, administration officials discussed plans for airstrikes in Yemen.
Waltz allegedly does not know Goldberg: «I would not recognize him even if I ran into him or saw him at the police station.»
«I created this group. My job is to make sure everything is coordinated,» said Wolz.
He did not provide an explanation for how the journalist was admitted. But he began to talk about the journalist’s «bad reputation.» Allegedly, the latter’s actions could have been intentional.
«I know him by his terrible reputation, and he is truly the worst of journalists. And I know him in the sense that he hates the president. But I don’t correspond with him. He wasn’t on my phone. And we’ll find out how that happened,» the senior official said.
Recall, yesterday we wrote that a serious information leak related to the Donald Trump administration occurred in the US. An American journalist accidentally found himself in a Signal chat room where top officials were discussing an attack on military targets in Yemen. Why are such stories happening more and more often? And how does high-level communication take place in Ukraine? Here is a detailed analysis.
