Trump Suggests Reporter “Broke Into” Signal Chat

CNN reports:

President Donald Trump told reporters on Tuesday that there “was no classified information” shared on the Signal chain that The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg said he was added to, pushing back on Goldberg’s claim that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sent “operational details of forthcoming strikes on Yemen” during the conversation.

Trump claimed US national security “is stronger than it’s ever been” and praised national security adviser Mike Waltz, who Goldberg said added him to the chain, calling the official “a very good man.”

“He’s a very good man, and he will continue to do a good job,” Trump said. For his part, Waltz, who was also in the room with Trump’s ambassador picks, blasted Goldberg, whom Trump has clashed with in the past.

Asked if national security adviser Mike Waltz made a mistake and needs to apologize for use of Signal to discuss Yemen plans, Pres. Trump says, “I don’t think he should apologize, I think he’s doing his best.”

“Probably, he won’t be using it again.” https://t.co/03FHf0KqJO pic.twitter.com/jkI6bYflZU
