Donald Trump Jr's attempt to smear Jeffrey Goldberg is brutally shot down [View all]

Donald Trump Jr’s attempt to smear The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg was swiftly shot down in the fallout of the Signalgate national security scandal. Hours before President Trump attempted to shift the blame to an unidentified “lower level” White House employee, his eldest son targeted Golberg on X.

“Why doesn't Jeffrey Goldberg disclose to readers in his stories that he is a registered Democrat?,” Don Jr. tweeted on Tuesday afternoon. “His wife also worked for Hillary Clinton and has donated nearly $25k to Democrats.”

The political scion faced backlash for his attempt to discredit The Atlantic journalist, leaving social media users asking why a registered Democrat was added to the insecure channel in the first place.

“Isn’t it even *worse* that top Cabinet officials added a registered Democrat to their war plan chat on an unsecured app?,” Brian Tyler Cohen, a progressive YouTube creator and MSNBC contributor, said.

“Great question, Don,” another X user replied. “Why did Pete Hegseth share classified military intelligence with a registered Democrat in an unsecured Signal chat.”
