Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg says it’s “simply not true” that he and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz had never communicated with him before Goldberg was mistakenly included in a Signal chat of top Trump administration officials.

Journalist Jeffrey Goldberg is accusing Mike Waltz of lying about talking with him — ridiculing on Sunday the claim that his phone number was mysteriously “sucked into” the national security adviser’s cellphone before being included in a Signal group chat about Yemen airstrikes.

National Security Adviser Mike Waltz faces criticism for accidentally adding Jeffrey Goldberg to a sensitive group chat, leading to a leak of confidential information. Waltz denies knowing Goldberg, but a viral photo and Goldberg's statements contradict this claim.
