White House Pers Secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed that no 'war plans' were discussed in the stunning text chain among the best national security officers who include a magazine editor before an attack on the Houthis.
Leavitt commented on the extraordinary security infringement on Tuesday when President Trump took a good word for his suddenly controversial national security adviser Mike Waltz. She confirmed his 'trust' in Waltz, even as an anonymous source close to the White House called him an 'f *** ing idiot' because of his role in the text chain.
And as Trump did in his first reaction to the Bombshell News, where the president claimed to have no knowledge of the text chain when asked him, Leavitt pointed to the success of the military operation itself – saying that this matters the most.
Just like Minister of Defense Hegseeth, Leavitt started attacking Atlantic Magazine -Editor Jeffrey Goldberg, who wrote that he was added to the text chain after an invitation by Waltz.
“So you're talking about a deceptive and very discredit so -called journalist who has made a profession time and again on paddling Hoaxes,” Hegseeth said in his first comments about the scandal. He said that Goldberg said “Peddles in Garbage” while he said, “Nobody texts.
That led to a reprimand from Goldberg, who said MSNBC: “They had a war plan on a messenger -and did not even know who was in the conversation, it is an obvious, ridiculous, security breach and if you notice it, he did not really answer the question. '
“Jeffrey Goldberg is known for his sensational spider,” she said the author attacking the information.
White House Pers Secretary Karoline Leavitt attacked the editor who unveiled the text chain at the highest level about an imminent attack on the Houthis, and said that no 'war plans' had been discussed
'Here are the facts about his latest story: 1. No' war plans' were discussed. 2. No classified material has been sent to the thread. 3. The office of the Witte House counsel has given a number of different platforms for the best officials of President Trump to communicate as safely and efficiently as possible. '
That line did not indicate whether the White House lawyer had authorized the use of the private -coded messages -app. Usually, top officials who discuss sensitive military plans would be needed to communicate in a secure area called a SCIF.
She then confirmed an internal probe of the case – in the midst of calls in the congress for an investigation.
'As the National Security Council stated, the White House investigates how Goldberg's number was unintentionally added to the thread. Thanks to the strong and decisive leadership of President Trump, and everyone in the group, the Houthi attacks were successful and effective. Terrorists were killed and that is what is the most important thing for President Trump, “she said.

Trump weighed to support Waltz after a person tore in a comment to polico 'close to the White House'. 'Everyone in the White house Can agree on one thing: Mike Waltz is finished *** ing idiot, “said the source.
Trump, however, told NBC News: “Michael Waltz has learned a lesson and he is a good man.”
He also blamed the staff. “It was one of Michael's people on the phone. An employee had his number there, “said Trump. Trump called the incident “the only glitch in two months, and it turned out not to be a serious one.”
Leavitt offered even more support from Trump for Waltz, because the Top Instichters officers would be grilled in a hearing of the Senate.
“As I said yesterday, the president continues to have faith in his national security team, including Mike Waltz. Stories that say otherwise are driven by anonymous sources that clearly do not speak with the president, and written by reporters who are thirsty for a 'scoop', 'she posted on X.
