Trump said Tuesday he still supports National Security Advisor Michael Waltz after a journalist was accidentally added to a secure Signal chat with officials, according to CNBC. Trump blamed a staffer, calling Waltz “a good man” who had “learned a lesson.” Waltz, seated next to Trump at a White House meeting, denied knowing Goldberg and said his team was reviewing the incident. Both criticized Goldberg, whose 2020 reporting on Trump’s alleged remarks about fallen soldiers has long angered the president. The Atlantic responded, defending its journalists and press freedom.
