Waltz Admits Mistake in Goldberg's Signal Chat Addition; Investigation Ongoing

National Security Advisor Mike Waltz addressed the controversy surrounding journalist Jeffrey Goldberg's accidental addition to a Signal group chat of Trump administration national security officials, during an appearance on Fox News. Goldberg claimed he was privy to classified discussions regarding military actions against the Houthis in Yemen, raising concerns about the sharing of sensitive information on an unsecured platform. While the National Security Council confirmed the chat's authenticity, Waltz insisted that no war plans were shared and noted that an investigation is underway to determine how Goldberg was added, suggesting it may have been deliberate. President Trump expressed his continued confidence in Waltz, who defended himself against accusations regarding the incident. Some officials, including CIA Director John Ratcliffe, asserted that no classified details were exchanged in the chat, despite concerns from Congress. The situation has sparked debate over security protocols among national security officials.
