Jeffrey Goldberg had the greatest scoop of the year when he released a shocking article about how some of the highest ranking US officials had unintentionally given him vital information. Additionally, the Atlantic editor became the focus of every high-ranking Trump administration official in Washington.
President Donald Trump has referred to him as a “loser” and a “sleazebag” in recent days. At the same time, US National Security Advisor Michael Waltz has dubbed him a liar and “scum” after he seemed to have added Goldberg to a group chat earlier this month.
But before he became a political lightning rod, Goldberg watched from his phone as cabinet members, including Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, and CIA Director John Ratcliffe, discussed the specifics, timings, and targets of a planned military operation in Yemen. They didn’t appear to be aware of him.
In a Wednesday BBC interview, Waltz told me that it all started when he received a message on his phone through the openly accessible Signal messaging program. This program enables users to exchange encrypted communications with one another. Government officials and journalists like it. Waltz thought it was a prank when he received a message from an account using his name.
