The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg confronted National Security Advisor Mike Waltz over his claims that they had never communicated before Goldberg's inclusion in a sensitive Signal chat. During an NBC interview, Goldberg dismissed Waltz's explanation that his phone number ‘got sucked in’ as absurd, pointing out that he was indeed in Waltz's contacts because of their prior interactions. Additionally, photos surfaced showing them together at a 2021 event, further complicating Waltz's narrative. Goldberg rejected assertions made by former Trump officials regarding the classified nature of information discussed in the chat.
Goldberg stated, "I don't know what he's talking about there. You know, very frequently in journalism the most obvious explanation is the explanation."
"There's no subterfuge here. My number was in his phone. He mistakenly added me to the group chat. There we go."
Goldberg scoffed at Waltz's claims and emphasized, "This isn't The Matrix; phone numbers don't just get sucked into other phones."
