President Donald Trump revealed that a staffer with national security advisor Mike Waltz's office included the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic in a Signal group chat with senior Trump officials who were discussing plans for an upcoming strike on Houthi rebels in Yemen.

"It was one of Michael’s people on the phone. A staffer had his number on there," Trump told NBC in a phone interview when asked how Jeffrey Goldberg, the Atlantic's editor-in-chief, was added to the high-profile chat.

"The inclusion of a journalist in the group chat has sparked outrage from Democrats, with some calling on Hegseth and Waltz to resign from their security roles, and others demanding they testify before Congress on the matter."

Sometimes you have to flush out the moles.

Next question:

Why did that ‘staffer’ have a direct line to The Atlantic journalist?

This sounds more and more like a set-up and a planted scandal.

This staffer should be fired immediately and investigated by the FBI.......................

Hopefully they are an ex-staffer. now. These ‘resistance’ moles need to be dealt with harshly when they self-reveal. A shame they can’t seem to just clean everybody out and bring in vetted personnel. (Those who aren’t demo-commie and/or M.I.C. scum.)

I’m sure this more than meets the threshold for removing the staffers security clearances......and that certainly needs to happen.

Isn’t it a coincidence that the one journalist that was added to the call was Goldberg, a true Trump hater. Working for a rag that spews propaganda probably funded by either China or Soros.

Why any Trump administration staffers have leftist publications reporters on contact list is inexcusable. All Dems and leftists are by definition high security threats just as bad as Iran or Houtis.

I have a question... is this Signal thing an app that you have to download onto your phone? Does everyone in DC have it? Is it weird that this reporter had that app on his phone to begin with?

Reports are saying that this “staffer” was a lawyer with the law firm of Covington & Burling. This is a leading Democratic law firm in DC which reportedly aided Jack Smith for free in his prosecution of Trump. Why on earth would anyone hire in the White House hire someone like this and put them on a call discussing national security matters?? Why is there a need for a staffer such as this when there are thousands of competent and loyal Trump supporters who never hear back from the hiring personnel? Did not Walz and his advisors learn after Vindman listened in on an NSC call and accused Trump before Congress of some ridiculous lies he said to the head of Ukraine?

I think some of these staffers are moles. They are quiet and seem to be doing okay jobs — until they are activated by their Masters.

Can’t have a staffer for Waltz or at this point in the WH who doesn’t merit high clearance. Very suspicious contact to have in their phone, and why are they doing gov biz on a personal phone?

Signal is an encrypted text messaging app that’s readily available to anyone.

It’s great for secure messaging as long as you don’t ADD SOMEBODY THATS NOT SUPPOSED TO HEAR WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT.

Given the ensuing choreography of the Democrats, the staffer should be investigated.

Why did that ‘staffer’ have a direct line to The Atlantic journalist?

Waltz said on Ingraham that Goldberg's number was under someone else's name, and that person was who they thought they were including, but that person was NOT included. This seems very deliberate.
