Washington President Trump on Tuesday defended national security adviser Mike Waltz as his administration faces questions about its use of the encrypted messaging app Signal after a reporter was mistakenly added to a group chat detailing highly sensitive plans to attack Houthi targets in Yemen.
...........Waltz later attacked Goldberg and claimed he and other reporters in Washington, D.C., have "made big names for themselves making up lies about this president."
"This one in particular I've never met, don't know, never communicated with, and we're looking into and reviewing how the heck he got into this room," he said.
Waltz told the president that Goldberg is attempting to deflect attention away from the "freedom that you're enabling," and said "the world owes President Trump a favor."

Does that mean that Waltz is the one to be thrown under the bus?

(4,598 posts)Maybe it was just a screwup, but hard to know how. At some point, if one of the Trumpettes added him by accident, how did the accident happen? JG said there was an invite sent to him. So someone had to choose his name/email to send the invite. Who did they think they were inviting? Why was he on their email list?
I think it's more likely someone nefarious did this. Could be Russians (the Russians are clever with Signal, I've heard).
Some of them were on their private phones-- phones that might have had components built in China.
And one of the people on the chat was in Moscow. Probably on hotel wifi, LOL.
