President Trump, for now, is standing by his National Security Advisor Mike Waltz after Deep State reporter Jeffrey Goldberg was added to a Signal chat group.
It was reported on Monday that Jeffrey Goldberg, the anti-Trump editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, claimed he was accidentally added to a secure Signal group chat where top Trump administration officials discussed sensitive military operations against Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen.
According to Jeffrey Goldberg, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Vice President JD Vance were in a Signal group called “Houthi PC small group,” discussing plans to strike terrorists in Yemen.
After the first release of chats from the Signal group, Jeffrey Goldberg vowed to release the ‘war plans’ discussed in the text chain.
Goldberg released the second round of messages from the chat group on Wednesday at it was clear that he over promised and under delivered.
Although no war plans were discussed in the “Houthi PC small group” on Signal, the main question is, how did Mike Waltz add Jeffrey Goldberg to the chat group if he insists he has never spoken to him? How was Jeffrey Goldberg in his phone contacts?
Did Mike Waltz’s top deputy Alex Wong add Jeffrey Goldberg to Waltz’s contact list and add him to the Signal group?
A screenshot of the Signal group clearly shows Mike Waltz added Jeffrey Goldberg to the “Houthi PC small group.”
On Tuesday evening, Mike Waltz said he takes full responsibility for what happened since he is the one who created the Signal chat group.
Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham could not understand how Jeffrey Goldberg ended up in Mike Waltz’s phone in the first place if he has never spoken to him before.
“But you’ve never talked to him [Jeffrey Goldberg] before, so how’s the number on your phone?” Laura Ingraham asked Waltz.
Waltz replied, “Well, if you have somebody else’s contact and then somehow it gets sucked in, it gets sucked in.”
Although Mike Waltz insists he has never spoken to Jeffrey Goldberg, it appears they might actually know each other.
According to investigative reporter Paul Sperry, Mike Waltz was a source for Jeffrey Goldberg while he was serving on the House Intel Committee.
Per Paul Sperry: Though Waltz insists, “I wasn’t talking to [Goldberg],” a US intel official told me Waltz was a source for Goldberg while on HPSCI. “There’s no need for an investigation to figure out how he was added to the chat.Goldberg was in his address book b/c he’s been talking to him”
For what it’s worth, Mike Waltz attended an event moderated by Jeffrey Goldberg in 2021.

“added to a secure Signal group chat where top Trump administration officials discussed sensitive military operations against Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen.”
That’s a lie.
He has got to go.
Fire him Donald.
Fire Signal first..no more use
Signal is an approved app and was used properly in this scenario.
Absolutely!
STEPHEN MILLER’S ADVICE TO TRUMP..DON’T HIRE THE NEO CON WALTZ .
Sometimes “leaks” are orchestrated from the top in order to send a message to somebody.
We’re in no position to know one way or the other, but the absence of anger from the White House might be a tell.
Oh? What’s your theory?
Do you believe everything you read on the internet?
I think Elon and his band of young geniuses will get to the bottom of this.
Gah! Ditch the guy already!!! Off with his head!!!! Goldberg’s, too.
For what it’s worth, Mike Waltz attended an event moderated by Jeffrey Goldberg in 2021.
Has anyone asked Goldberg about this?
The lie I’m referring to is “sensitive”.
When its replies from those like you?
Nope.
I am surprised others on the chat didn’t note there was “an additional number” in the group which should have raised red flags with everyone. While Signal may be some super secure app, the basics of a phone number identifying people in a chat or call or whatever is fairly basic.
Although this a wet dream for the democrats and media, it shouldn’t be the distraction it appears to be. However, if this is the main topic on all the Sunday talk shows, someone may get thrown under the bus. While the President is loyal to his appointees, someone is likely to take the hit. If Waltz was a source for Goldberg as suggested, then he probably will need to start packing his luggage,
But it's premature to call for Waltz to resign.
Here's what you said,
He has got to go. Fire him Donald.What do you base that on? Do you know the truth or just what you have read online?
