Did Jeffery Goldberg really have access to top secret “war plans”?

When National Security Adviser Mike Waltz allegedly added Jeffrey Goldberg, editor of The Atlantic, to an encrypted groupchat with other senior Trump administration members, Goldberg remained silent for over a week, listening in on discussions before publishing a bombshell exposé on March 24th.

Victor Davis Hanson reviews this debacle on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

“ He is one of the most hard-left critics of the Trump administration imaginable. But he was on there. And he listened to these conversations, apparently, for about 10 days. And then, when he was waiting and—he never notified anybody that they had mistakenly put his name on the inclusion list to this confidential information.

“ Bottom line, if you're in the Trump administration, do not, do not under any circumstances think you can be friends with people who despise you. And this is a lesson that I hope Mike Waltz learns.”
