Jeffrey Goldberg, The Atlantic's editor-in-chief, told Tim Miller on Tuesday's Bulwark Podcast that the magazine is still considering whether or not to release the full Trump administration war plan texts he received via the Signal messaging app.
Goldberg spoke with Miller about how he was added to the text thread that included top Trump officials, the White House's response and whether or not he should publish the full transcript. "My colleagues and I and the people who are giving us advice on this have some interesting conversations to have about this. But just because they're irresponsible with material, doesn't mean that I'm going to be irresponsible," The Atlantic's editor told Miller.
Why It Matters
President Donald Trump on Tuesday downplayed the recent incident in which sensitive military strike plans against Yemen's Houthi rebels were shared in a group chat that included a journalist, calling it "the only glitch in two months" of his administration. Meanwhile, Democratic lawmakers sharply criticized the administration, accusing it of recklessly mishandling highly classified information. Top administration officials also maintained Tuesday that Democratic outrage over the incident was misplaced.
On Capitol Hill, CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard assured lawmakers that the text messages discussing U.S. attack plans did not contain any classified information.
