The signal scandal of Trump’s government has caused great anger in the United States. The American president wants to get the problem out of the world and is looking for help with an old knowledge. According to the White House, Elon Musk is integrated into the internal investigation of the affair.
When clarifying the question of how the telephone number of a journalist could end in the group cat of the US government, the technical billionaire “offered his technical experts on it,” said on Wednesday in Washington. The research is also conducted by the National Security Council and the office of the legal adviser in the White House.
The goal is to ensure that such a thing does not repeat, said the spokeswoman for Karoline Leavitt. The National Security Advisor Michael Waltz – according to the group’s initiator – had previously stated that the Omroep Fox News spoke with Musk about the incident.
However, he does not know how the number of “Atlantic” editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg came to his mobile phone and so in the group cat. Possibly a contact in his address book was wrong. Waltz speculated in the broadcaster that the journalist may have “sucked up” in the group cat or that “deliberately” added himself. Images of the chat course clearly show that he has added the number himself (or an employee in his name).
“Damn idiot”
Waltz does not know “the Atlantic” editor Goldberg personally, he said. This was contradicted statements from Goldberg, which on Tuesday had “Bulwark Podcast” stated that he had “met Waltz” maybe two years ago “. A person close to the White House was already weakened to “Politico”: “Everyone in the White House agrees in one point: Mike Waltz is a damn idiot.” Even Republican voices now require “Rolling Heads”.
US President Donald Trump showed some role in the affair. “I was not involved,” he told the right newsmax station on Tuesday evening. At the same time, he was satisfied with the earlier statements from his cabinet members for the process. He feels comfortable with what he heard. Trump blamed a Waltz employee at a lower level. The head of state already had protection against Waltz and said, “He is a very good man and he will continue to do well.”
The security adviser himself played the scope and wrote on the Platform X about the new unveiling that operational plans were placed on a civil app: “No locations. No sources and methods. No war plans.” In addition, foreign partners were informed in advance about the upcoming attacks.
Signal scandal with Austria-Dimension
The scandal even got an Austrian dimension. “Atlantic” editor Goldberg was in Salzburg, especially when the invitation to the chat group suddenly appeared on his mobile phone. “I happen to be in Salzburg, Austria. Sixty birthday of” Sound of Music “is all I say,” he described the situation on Tuesday in the “Bulwark Podcast”.
The fact that members of the government with high uprising exchange sensitive information about the commercial app signal caused indignation. The fact that details there were discussed about an upcoming military strike and that a journalist was accidentally included in the group, ensures that Watcherness. The misstep hits high waves and brought newspapers past the United States.
