President Trump expressing confidence in National Security Advisor Mike Walz following a report that Mr. Walz accidentally added the Atlantic's editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, to a private group chat on messaging app Signal discussing war plans. Mr. Trump saying in a gaggle, quote, Michael Walz has learned a lesson and he's a good man. Mr. Trump saying the incident is the only glitch in the two months since retaking office and, quote, it turned out to not be a serious one. Left-wing critics disagree.
Folks, apps like Signal are not government-approved platforms to transmit classified information. You would think folks would know that. There are systems in place for these classified conversations to take place. They're a bit unwieldy. You have to use different phones, different equipment, different systems. But they are in place so that you don't have to use something like Signal. These are national security professionals at the highest levels of government. They should know better.
Republican analyst Scott Jennings on CNN saying much of the criticism is likely overblown.
The signal program was preloaded on a number of devices and agency computers in this circuit when they got there. So in their view, it was already in use. Number two, in some of the messages, they talk about needing to go to the high side computers, which is the classified system. Chat like this versus classified system. Number three, there is a dispute over whether the term war plans is being exaggerated.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says no war plans were shared. Jeffrey Goldberg telling CNN on Monday night they were.
He was texting war plans. He was texting attack plans. When targets were going to be targeted, how they were going to be targeted, who was at the targets, when the next sequence of attacks were happening. And I continued not to publish it because it felt like it was too confidential.
Mr. Goldberg saying in subsequent interviews he may release more of the conversation. On Tuesday morning, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, FBI Director Kash Patel, and CIA Director John Radcliffe appearing before the Senate Intel Committee on a hearing about global threats facing the U.S. It turned into a grilling on the signal chat.
