Trump National Security Adviser Gap on adding a reporter to confidential chat

According to RCO News Agency, three informed sources confirmed that US National Security Adviser Mike Waltz mistakenly added a journalist to the signal social network chat group, which was related to US attacks on Yemen.

According to the informed sources, this happened to the Waltz audience list months ago due to the journalist’s contact number.

Trump Election campaign, the beginning of the story

The Guardian newspaper wrote in a report: The mistake was just one of the mistakes discovered in the White House’s internal investigations, indicating that a series of chain mistakes began since US President Donald Trump’s campaign, and had not come to Waltz until the chat was created last month.

Trump shortly thought of the dismissal of Waltz for the story that had taken place, but more than the sensitive debate, such as military operations in an unnecessary platform such as the signal social network, was angry that Waltz had the number of Atlantic Magazine Jeffrey Goldberg.

However, Trump did not decide to dismiss Waltz because he did not want Atlantic and News media to dismiss a senior cabinet in the early days of his second presidency. In addition, the results of Trump’s internal research calmed down.

The technical examination of the White House

The revelations led the White House to conduct a “careful technical examination” by the Office of Information Technology, which showed that the Goldberg number was stored as a result of a series of rare and unlikely events on Waltz’s cellphone. The story began when Goldberg sent an email to Trump’s campaign last October.

According to three informed sources that were in the process of internal investigations, Goldberg had sent an email in which Trump was criticized for his treatment of injured soldiers. Trump’s campaign asked Waltz to help Trump’s national security team in charge of Trump’s national security.

Goldberg’s email to Brian Hughes, a spokesman for Trump, and he sent a copy of the content of the email, including Goldberg’s mobile number in a text message to Waltz to keep him in the report.

The informed sources said Waltz eventually did not contact Goldberg, but accidentally stored Goldberg’s number on his iPhone’s mobile phone under Hughes, which is now a spokesman for the US National Security Council.

The next day, Goldberg’s report was released on October 5, and Waltz defended Trump on one of CNN’s program.

Conversation on sensitive military issues in the signal chat group

The report said: The mistake was not revealed until last month when Waltz intended to add Hughes to the chat group in the signal. Instead, Goldberg’s number was added to a group called “Small Houthis” (Ansarullah Yemen) in which several senior US officials were discussing programs on attacking Yemen.

The White House announced that the number was mistakenly stored in the Waltz mobile phone update, which is apparently related to auto -saving the cell number on the iPhone mobile phones, where an anonymous number will be added to one of the device’s audience list, which may be identified in some way.

However, Waltz said after the incident that he had never met with Goldberg. In an interview with Fox News, he said that Goldberg’s number had somehow entered his phone, which apparently referred to the same way of storing the number by the iPhone.

The White House did not comment on this, and it was not clear that Waltz’s relationship with Goldberg, if there was a relationship between them. Goldberg, who was contacted last Saturday, said, “Except I know and talk to him, I have no idea about my relationship with Mike Waltz.”

The Guardian said: An informed source said Trump was informed of the results of the investigation last week and decided almost at that time to maintain Waltz. He accepted Waltz’s apology and defended him against public opinion in recent weeks.

Two informant sources also said that among Trump’s closest circles, Waltz was sympathetic, as the White House confirmed the use of the signal social network mainly because there was no substitute for instant contact between different organizations.
