How did Atlantic’s editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg associate with Trump administration officials to add their plans to airstrikes in Yemen to a signal group chat?
The simplest explanation: National Protection Advisor Mike Waltz saved Goldberg as a contact on his phone and accidentally connected him. In fact, when Waltz first claimed that Goldberg’s phone number was “sucking” from another communication, Goldberg ridiculed, “This is not ‘matrix’.”
However, according to the guardian, An internal investigation The decision, directed by the White House Information Technology Office, has reached the conclusion that the auto-sea of the iPhone played a key role: After emailing the White House to comment on a story about a story, Brian Hughes, a spokesman for the Goldburg, text the Goldburg emails.
As a result, Waltz’s iPhone provided a “contact advice update” that eventually saved the Goldberg phone number in the name of Hughes. Then, when Waltz tried to add Hughes – now the spokesperson for the National Security Council – in the chat, he probably finished with the Goldberg instead.
Goldberg said on his behalf, “I’m not going to comment on my relationship with Mike Waltz that I know him and talked to him.”
