Jeffrey Goldberg, editor of The Atlantic, provided a vague answer regarding his relationship with National Security Advisor Mike Waltz during an interview with CBS News. This confusion emerged after Goldberg's unexpected inclusion in a Signal chat group with top Trump administration officials.
• Inclusion in Signal Group: Goldberg was reportedly added to a secure Signal chat group titled “Houthi PC small group,” where discussions about military operations against the Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen were taking place. The chat included Waltz, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Vice President JD Vance.
• Content of the Chat: Initially, Goldberg claimed that sensitive military plans were discussed but later revealed that the messages were merely about the pros and cons of military action. The discussions did not contain any classified information.
• Goldberg's Claims: After the chat's content was published, Goldberg stated that he would provide details on the 'war plans' discussed; however, his follow-up messages did not uphold this promise.
• Questions on Relationship: There is speculation about how Waltz had Goldberg’s contact information if he claims to have never communicated with him. Mike Waltz admitted that he created the chat and took responsibility for the situation.
• Laura Ingraham's Inquiry: Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham questioned how Goldberg’s number ended up in Waltz's phone if they had never talked. Waltz responded that contact information can sometimes get mixed up unintentionally.
• Investigative Report: Investigative reporter Paul Sperry suggested that Waltz had been a source for Goldberg while on the House Intelligence Committee, contradicting Waltz’s claims of no connection. Additionally, Waltz attended an event moderated by Goldberg in 2021, raising further questions about their relationship.
• Goldberg’s Response: When asked about the photos of him and Waltz together, Goldberg was non-committal, stating he wouldn’t comment on their relationship.
This incident has raised eyebrows about the nature of the relationship between Mike Waltz and Jeffrey Goldberg, particularly concerning how they are connected despite conflicting statements. The confusion highlights the complexities of communication within government officials and the press during sensitive discussions.
