After an internal investigation, the White House came up with a probable explanation of how Jeffrey Goldberg, editor -in -chief Atlantic, It was included in the signal chat filled with Trump officials planning to bomb the Husites. Keeper Reports The fact that the problem arose before the national security consultant Mike Valtz does not understand how his iPhone works.
By the visible, after Goldberg tried to contact the Trump campaign on a separate problem in 2024, Brian Hughes, a representative of Trump, shared the contact information of Goldberg and the email signature from Waltz. After that, it took only a few irregular cranes to lay the base for the “signal”. Keeper Writes:
According to people, the waltz ultimately did not call Goldberg, but in an extraordinary turn, inadvertently saved Goldberg’s number on his iPhone – under the Hughes contact card, now a representative of the National Security Council.
Thus, the waltz did not understand that his iPhone renewed contact, and did not create a new one, and was supposed to add Hughes to the group chat, not Goldberg. This explanation does not change the fact that the planning occurring in the “small group of Houthi PC” probably should not have occurred in an encrypted application for exchange – and especially without weighing the congress. But this discovery really adds a new taste of gloomy stupidity to the whole matter.
Soon after Signalgate, the Pentagon warned from using the signal because it vulnerable to Russian phishing attacksBut it is clear that the Trump administration likes the security of the application and instant communication that it allows. The presence of a safer option According to reports, Waltz did not stop using gmailAlthough.
