Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, hit again at Michael Waltz’s declare that the 2 had by no means met.
“My number was in his phone. He mistakenly added me to the group chat. There we go,” Goldberg stated Sunday on “Meet The Press.”
On Tuesday, Waltz, the nationwide safety adviser, stated he takes “full responsibility” for including Goldberg to a gaggle chat that mentioned warfare plans, a scandal that was dropped at gentle when Goldberg wrote about it for The Atlantic final week. Within the article, Goldberg detailed how he was inadvertently added to a gaggle chat with 18 Donald Trump administration officers, through which the officers deliberate warfare strikes in Yemen.
Trump stated there was nothing categorised within the group chat and the error isn’t a safety concern.
Waltz stated on Tuesday’s episode of “The Ingraham Angle” that he doesn’t know Goldberg, and that Goldberg’s contact info “somehow” changed the contact info for an individual Waltz meant so as to add to the group.
“Well, if you have somebody else’s contact and then somehow it gets sucked in. It gets sucked in,” Waltz stated.
Goldberg stated Sunday that he doesn’t know what Waltz is speaking about.
“This isn’t the Matrix,” Goldberg stated. “Phone numbers don’t just get sucked into other phones. I don’t know what he’s talking about there.”

Goldberg continued: “He’s telling everyone that he’s never met me or spoken to me. That’s just simply not true. I understand why he’s doing it. But this has become a somewhat farcical situation. There’s no subterfuge here. My number was in his phone. He mistakenly added me to the group chat. There we go.”
Images present that Goldberg and Waltz each attended a Q&A with a French filmmaker in 2021, through which Goldberg moderated.
