The White House remained in the damage to the damage on Tuesday, and reject the iron allegations that government secrets are at risk.
“There were no classified information, as I understand,” Trump told the U.S. ambassador meeting, waving the scandal aside.
“We looked fairly in that. It’s pretty simple, to be honest. It’s just something that can happen.”
He told reporters that he had no intention of seeking sentences, prohibits the use of social media applications or asking the apologies to those involved.
Trump comments come in response to the Goldberg’s article, published the day before, in which the editor explains how to receive a call on the message platform signal from the user identified advisor for Michael Walt.
Goldberg accepted the call and quickly found himself in the middle of the conversation on the merits of the bombing of Huuthi fighters in Yemen.
While Goldberg refused to quote certain military information from the Chat, in his publication of the article, he shared between officials at the highest level of government, including JD’s vice president and the Secretary of the Pete Hegset.
For example, Vance, Hegset and Homeland Advisor Stephen Miller are quoted as a discussion of the time of attack and whether economic profit could “get out” from Europe in exchange for bombing.
The vice president, especially he expressed concern that bombings would make more to use European trade in the Red Sea, where you know how to strike naval and ship vessels.
Article created a splash In Washington, DC, almost as soon as it was published. Questions were asked about why sensitive data were discussed about the Non-Governmental platform and whether the text messages would be preserved, as required by federal laws for records.
Some of these issues were set up directly by two participants in the signal chat, director of the CIA John Ratcliffe and the director of the National Intelligence Tulsa Gabbard, who attended the Intelligence Service Heart.
“It wasn’t just messy. She didn’t just violate all the actions, but that the US lives could have lost. If he had to move their defense systems,” said Senator Mark Warner, the Government Democrat on the board.
“It’s just just almost almost on my regular people on this line, and no one bothered even to check the safety hygiene of 101.”
Senator Ron Wyden, another Democrat at the hearing, called the signal chat “obviously recklessly, obviously dangerous.”
“And Mishandling classified information and deliberate destruction of federal records are potential crimes that should be immediately researched,” Wyden said. “And I want to clearly be from the point of view that there should be a resignation, starting with the National Security Adviser and the Secretary of Defense.”
Questions about classified information
The white house position, however, is not that classified data over the signal chat is not published.
In his article, Goldberg is clear that the easiest secret Information included In the messages of the group chat.
“The information contained in them, if they read the opponent of the United States, can be noted to harm the American military and intelligence staff,” Goldberg wrote.
If Goldberg reiterated that information in his publication, he could open for legal consequences. Instead, Goldberg offered a wide description of what turned out to chat.
“What I will say, to illustrate the recklessness of this signal conversation, whether Hegseth Post contained operational details on the upcoming strikes on Yemen, including information on goals, weapons, and attacked the order,” he wrote.
But on Tuesday, Trump administration challenged that assessment, saying no secrets were discovered in the signal chat.
“Jeffrey Goldberg is known for its sensationalist list,” Secretary of the White House for Print Karolina Leavitt wrote on social media. “Here is the fact about his latest story: 1. Don’t talk about war plans.” 2. No classified material sent on the topic. ”
Ratcliffe and Gabbard repeated similar remarks at the hearing of Capitol, denying ever sharing top signal data, either on that conversation or that chat.
“To be clear, I have not participated in any signal group messages that relate to any secret data at all,” Ratcliffe said.
“I have the same answer,” Gabbard echoed. Unlike Ratcliff, Gabbard refused to even confirm whether she was a participant in Chat, as reported in Goldberg’s article.
Their position led to a heated conflict with Senator Warner, who claimed that – if Chat did not contain secrets – its content should be published immediately for review.
“Why won’t you get in the specifics? Is that because it’s all classified?” Warner asked.
“Because this is currently being reviewed at national security -” Gabbard began to react, because Warner was involved, “Because everything is classified? If not classified, share the text now.”
At a meeting with American ambassadors, in the meantime, Trump denied that there was any injury to national insurance.
“Our national security is now stronger than it has ever been,” Trump told reporters. Instead, he blamed technology – and signal app specially – to enable Goldberg to access a private chat.
“It’s not perfect technology. No perfect technology. They’re really good very awkward, very hard to access,” he said.
Trump is Rivalry with Atlantic
The scandal over sensitive information in the signal chat also allowed Trum to restore its wide place against the Atlantic magazine, where Goldberg is working.
Trump criticized the magazine in the past, especially after he published a report from 2020. year that he claimed that the Republic leader had privately disputed the soldiers as “breastfeeding” and “sucking”. Trump itself is not a military veteran but publicly questioned a soldier’s service like late Senator John McCain.
Goldberg continued that article. Trump in the meantime denied allegations, inviting the article “Shame”.
The Republican leader has long been wiped against the main media, even suggesting that their reporting could be illegal.
As he addressed the scandal at the Tuesday meeting, the trump card set aside Goldberg’s more reporting for his reporting.
“I happen to know that the guy tatted the sleaze bag,” Trump said. “Atlantic is a failed magazine. It works very, very bad. Nobody doesn’t care. And I’ll tell me: they came up with more stories. And they’re just a failed journal.” The public understands. ”
Trump then turned to Waltz, who also sat in a meeting and continued to defend the apparent mistake of the Advisor’s adviser in Goldberg to signal chat.
“He is a very good man. That man is a very good man, there, to criticize,” Trump said, gesturing Waltz. “He is a very good man, and he will still do a good job.”
VALCER, a former American representative for Florida, hurried into the office in Atlantic and his editor.
“I think there are a lot of lessons. There are a lot of journalists in this city who made themselves making lies about this president,” Waltz said.
“This particularly, I never met. I don’t know. He never communicates. And we look at him and examine how the hell entered this room.”
The Democrats, however, praised Goldberg for restraint in the care of negation of secrets of national security and for voluntary removal from the signal conversation.
“No matter how many Secretary of Defense or others he wants to consider, this journalist had at least ethics not to report, I mean, everything he heard,” said Senator Warner on the intelligence hearing.
Trump doubles to ‘free load’ in Europe
What Goldberg quoted literally, however, were messages where the highest officials were discussed whether to delay attacks on Yemen – and whether Europe would use the most from bombing.
An account is intended belonging to Vanjese vice president, for example, has published a comment that emphasizes how many European trade passes through the red sea and surrounding waterways.
“3 percent of the American trade goes through Suez. 40 percent of European trade makes the real risk that the public does not understand it or why it is necessary,”, allegedly ”
“I’m not sure the president is aware of how inconsistent with his message in Europe are currently.”
Vance seemed to return the delay of bomb attacks in a month, but he eventually withdrew his objections – although not without further coating in Europe.
“If you think we should do that, let’s go. I just hate to go out in Europe again,” Vance seems to write Vance.
That Secretary of Defense Hegsetth, he reportedly replied: “VP: I completely share your grating of the European Loading. It’s pathetic.”
It seems that the immersion of luster is to confirm what has long been guessed in the public sphere: that relations between the United States and Europe are down.
Trump accused Europe of US usering, pointing to the trade deficit showing Americans who consume more European goods than vice versa. 2. April, his administration plans to implement what Trump invited “Reciprocal tariffs“The matching of imports of taxes of other countries imposes.
At the meeting on Tuesday, Trump asked whether he agreed with Hegeth’s and Vanse assessment that Europe is “Free Loading”.
“Do you really want me to answer that?” Trump asked, Deadpan. “Yes. I think they were freedom. The European Union was absolutely terribly terrible to us in the store. Awesome.”
Then shifted direction, fathers his peace Negotiations with Russia and Ukraine as well as the upcoming tariffs. “I think I was very fair to the countries that really abused us much, many decades.”
