On Tuesday, President Trump expressed comfort regarding the inclusion of Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg in a Signal chat about military strikes in Yemen. He stated there was no classified information shared, claiming the operation was a success. He was briefed by top aides but did not participate in the discussions led by his national security adviser. Despite contradictions from other officials regarding the incident's context, Trump emphasized that Goldberg's presence was inconsequential to the military operation's execution.
"I can only go by what I've been told, I wasn't involved in it, but I was told by - and the other people weren't involved at all. But I feel very comfortable, actually."
"What it was, we believe, is somebody that was on the line with permission, somebody that was with Mike Waltz, worked for Mike Waltz at a lower level..."
"I feel very comfortable after being briefed on the inclusion of Atlantic magazine's editor-in-chief in a Signal chat group where my top staffers discussed military strikes..."
"Goldberg's presence in the chat group had 'no impact at all' on the military operation."
