CNN's Scott Jennings praised the Trump administration's handling of a significant national security breach, where a reporter received advance notice of airstrikes in Yemen. A report revealed that National Security Advisor Mike Waltz included Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg in a group chat on Signal, which disclosed sensitive operational details. While Waltz accepted responsibility for the blunder, he faced criticism for blaming Goldberg's involvement. The incident raises questions about the sensitivity of the information shared and the administration's response to the leak, drawing attention from media figures regarding accountability.
Jennings highlighted that the administration's main defense was to blame Jeffrey Goldberg, arguing he was a bad actor for being included in the group chat.
Waltz stated, 'I take full responsibility. I built the group. My job is to make sure everything's coordinated,' after being questioned about the leak.
