Mike Waltz Suggests Journalist May Have Intentionally Infiltrated 'War Plans' Group Text
HuffPost
Trump's national security adviser claimed not to know Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg.
National security adviser Mike Waltz insinuated Tuesday that the journalist who was added to a group text chain with other senior Trump administration officials discussing plans to bomb Yemen may have infiltrated the group intentionally.
Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, published a bombshell story Monday detailing how he was inadvertently added to a group message chain on Signal that appeared to include high-ranking Trump administration officials, including Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, just two days after being invited to connect on the secure messaging platform by a user named Michael Waltz.
Appearing on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle” on Tuesday evening, Waltz said he does not know Goldberg, and claimed to Fox host Laura Ingraham that Goldberg’s contact information had “somehow” replaced the contact information for a person Waltz did intend to add to the group.
“You know Laura, I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but of all the people out there, somehow this guy who has lied about the president... he’s the one that somehow gets on somebody’s contact and then gets sucked into this group,” Waltz said.
“I just talked to Elon [Musk] on the way here, we have the best technical minds looking at how this happened,” Waltz continued. “But I can tell you, I can tell you for 100%, I don’t know this guy. I know him by his horrible reputation, and he really is the bottom scum of journalists. And I know him in the sense that he hates the president, but I don’t text him. He wasn’t on my phone, and we’re going to figure out how this happened.”
