#Waltz, in an interview w/ FauxNews Tues night, said a staffer wasn’t responsible & that he was taking “full responsibility” & that he made a “mistake.” But he insisted that #JeffreyGoldberg’s number had been erroneously added to someone else’s contact.
“I built the group,” Waltz said. “My job is to make sure everything’s coordinated.”

Casa Albă se află în mijlocul unui scandal de securitate care ar putea duce la concedierea consilierului pentru #Securitate Națională, Mike #Waltz.
O eroare gravă a permis unui #jurnalist să aibă acces accidental la un grup de comunicare secretă folosit de oficialii administrației americane pentru a discuta chestiuni sensibile, inclusiv atacurile recente asupra rebelilor #Houthi.

@Ulfh3dnar Is there actually anyone left in this fucking US government who doesn't lie when they open their mouths?
The Greatest National Security Threat Our Nation Has Ever Faced Is Named Donald Trump.
He must be impeached, convicted, and removed immediately.
regarding #signal #signalgate if the #atlantic editor was added by mistake, who was supposed to be added originally?? obviously that person was never "briefed" on the #war plans. or was it more like "select all" and add to the group? how many signal contacts does #waltz have to mistake the journalist ? so many questions

During an interview with Fox News, U.S. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz admitted that he had participated in a group chat on Signal, which he had created, about the attacks on Yemen earlier this month. The chat included Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, but Waltz later suggested that Goldberg had somehow "snuck into the group" using someone else's contact information."

Asked if #NationalSecurity Adviser #MikeWaltz owed an apology, #Trump said, “I don’t think he should apologize. I think he’s doing his best.”
Trump added that he thinks “we won’t be using it very much,” referring to the #Signal app.
#Waltz said the team is looking into “how in the heck” a journalist ended up in a group text chain on the Signal app where top ofcls were discussing plans for #military strikes against #Iran-backed #Houthi rebels in #Yemen.
[Waltz added him]

And, of course…
#Pentagon-wide email recently went out warning about #Signal vulnerability
A Pentagon-wide advisory went out one week ago warning against using the messaging app Signal, EVEN FOR UNCLASSIFIED INFORMATION.
"A vulnerability has been identified in the Signal messenger application," begins the department-wide email, dated March 18, obtained by NPR.

The White House introduces a whole new level of lying, especially the part about the information not being "classified".

United States Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth was asked about the leak of Signal conversations that were disclosed to a journalist:
"So, you are talking about a deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who has made a profession of peddling hoaxes."

"Conceivably, #Waltz, by coordinating a #NationalSecurity related action over #Signal, may have violated several provisions of the #Espionage Act, which governs the handling of “national defense” #information...
The Signal app is not approved by the #government for sharing classified information... they should go into a specially designed space known as a ... #SCIF —most Cabinet-level national-security officials have one installed in their home"

President Trump responded to a reporter's question regarding The Atlantic's report about the group chat on Signal.
"I don't know anything about it. I'm not a big fan of The Atlantic. It's a magazine that's going out of business. But I know nothing about it."
According to The Atlantic, President Trump's National Security Advisor, Michael Waltz, accidentally added an editor from The Atlantic to a secret Signal group chat where confidential operations were discussed, including planned attacks on the Houthis.
