National News See other National News Articles Title: SecDef Hegseth Torches Anti-Trump Hoax Peddler Jeffrey Goldberg Over ‘War Plans’ Conspiracy In a fiery rebuttal to recent allegations published by far-left The Atlantic, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth firmly denied claims that he and other top Trump administration officials inadvertently shared classified military strategies in a group chat. The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that Jeffrey Goldberg, the rabidly anti-Trump editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, has cooked up a wild tale about being “accidentally” added to a secure Signal group chat with top Trump officials. According to Goldberg’s latest hit piece, this chat allegedly contained sensitive details about military strikes against the Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen. Goldberg claims that heavyweights like National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Vice President J.D. Vance were part of a so-called “Houthi PC small group,” plotting a long-overdue reckoning for the Houthis. Let’s be real—Goldberg’s track record is a laundry list of anti-Trump hoaxes, from the debunked “suckers and losers” fabrication to his relentless Russia collusion fantasies. Now, he’s peddling this tale of stumbling into a supposed digital war room, claiming it all started with a Signal connection request from Mike Waltz on March 11. Goldberg alleges Waltz invited him to the chat on March 13, just days before American bombs began pounding Houthi targets. Read more here: President Donald Trump, when asked about the incident, stated he was unaware of the situation. "I don't know anything about it. I'm not a big fan of the Atlantic. To me, it's a magazine that's going out of business. I think it's not much of a magazine, but I know nothing about it. You're saying that they had what?" Trump said. "The Houthis? You mean the attack on the Houthis? Well, it couldn't have been very effective because the attack was very effective, I can tell you that. I don't know anything about it. You're telling me about it for the first time," Trump added. After landing at a military base in Pearl Harbor, Secretary Hegseth addressed these allegations head-on. Hegseth torched Goldberg’s story as pure fiction from a “deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist” who’s built a career on peddling hoaxes. Reporter: Your information about war plans against the Houthis in Yemen was shared with a journalist in the Atlantic. Were those details classified? Sec. Hegseth: You're talking about a deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who's made a profession of peddling hoaxes time and time again, including the hoaxes of Russia, Russia, Russia, the "fine people on both sides" hoax, and the "Suckers and Losers" hoax. This is the guy that peddles in garbage. This is what he does. I would love to comment on the Houthi campaign because of the skill and courage of our troops. I've monitored it very closely from the beginning. We've been managing four years of deferred maintenance under the Trump administration. Our troops and sailors were getting shot at as targets. Our ships couldn't sail through. And when they did shoot back, it was purely defensively or at shacks in Yemen. President Trump said, "No more. We will reestablish deterrence, open freedom of navigation, and ultimately decimate the Houthis," which is exactly what we're doing as we speak from the beginning, overwhelmingly. Reporter: Why were those details shared on Signal? And how did you learn that a journalist was privy to the targets, the types of weapons used, and the timing? Sec. Hegseth: I've heard that was characterized. Nobody was texting war plans, and that's all I have to say about that. Alright, I appreciate it. That's it. WATCH: Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
