If there was a word for heads not rolling it would be in wide use in Washington today.
Contacted by phone by NBC, President Trump called the inclusion of a journalist in a group of senior officials texting war plans to each other a “glitch”, and the person who did it “a good man who has learned a lesson”.
That person is his national security advisor, Mike Waltz, who said he takes responsibility for adding the Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg to the Signal group that coordinated airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen to prevent them obstructing Red Sea shipping.
If Waltz is in the clear, US defence secretary Pete Hegseth probably is too, even though he added to the awkwardness of sharing operational details with Goldberg by lying about it yesterday.
“Nobody was texting war plans,” he said. Goldberg is quite clear they were.
An explanation for his inclusion in the group emerged in the name of Jamieson Greer, a US trade representative with the same initials.
