'This Looks Pretty Bad': Brit Hume Nails Trump Administration For Scandal 'Mess'
HuffPost
The Fox News analyst revealed how Trump and others have botched an "iron" rule of dealing with a scandal.
Longtime Fox News analyst Brit Hume said President Donald Trump and the rest of his administration are “making a mess” with their botched response to the scandal in which a journalist was accidentally given access to a group chat with highly sensitive military information.
“All that has done is prolong the story,” he wrote on X.
National security adviser Michael Waltz reportedly added The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg by accident to a group chat discussion of plans for military action in Yemen and other extremely sensitive matters.
The chat also included Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, among others.
Goldberg described the details in the group chat as “war plans,” but Hegseth and others have tried to argue semantics, saying those details don’t count as “war plans.”
