President Donald Trump dropped CNN's Kaitlan Collins when she pressed him on the astonishing disclosure that his security team gathered on Signal to discuss a coming military operation.
The reporter of the White House of the Network, who is bumping with Trump in the past, tried to interrogate him during a meeting with the American ambassadors.
“Pardon – I didn't chose you,” Trump reproached her after she tried to interrogate her, indicating that he had called someone else.
She had tried to ask Trump about his statement that his national security adviser, Mike Waltz, had learned a lesson from experience.
Although Trump shunned her, he returned to Collins, during a television meeting where he made a series of eyebrow appointments about the incident, but said that Waltz “does his best.”
'We will have to find a different form of device,' recognized Trump, when we put pressure on how his security team used the commercial app, after journalist Jeffrey Goldberg had written a stunning piece about unintentionally included in the 'War Plans' Group Chat group.
'It was not classified information. This was not classified, “Trump said, when he was pressed on the content of the conversations.
President Donald Trump raised a question from CNN's Kaitlan Collins, but later defended the use of private reports -app by his security team to discuss an imminent military attack. Trump said critics made it a 'big deal', but also said there would be an internal investigation
But he also repeatedly acknowledged that such operations must be discussed personally, in a safe environment, if possible.
He even admitted that such unsecured conversations could be penetrated.
“Sometimes someone can come up with those things that is one of the prices you pay if you are not in the situations room without telephones,” Trump said.
“People come in those lines,” he said.
He spoke about the convenience of the app and said, “Everyone seems to use it,” but expressed his preference for performing such things in a room with 'fixed lead walls and a lead ceiling and a lead soil'.
Trump said his national security adviser Mike Waltz would 'investigate' the situation
Trump attacked journalist Jeffrey Goldberg and said that a 'many people' in the government use the signal app. He also said that his security head was investigating the incident
An investigation is underway. Waltz, whose office has been identified with making the error, will be in charge.
“I asked you to study that immediately and find out,” Trump told him.
Trump also repeatedly made two points when he was pressed on the group chat, the reporter, Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic Ocean, attacked and the military operation that the group had discussed, the attack on the Houthis.
“The man is a total Smeasbag,” said Trump over Goldberg.
Although Trump gave Waltz a break, he was less forgiving towards political rival Hillary Clinton during the 2016 campaign in the midst of her e -mail scandal. He said she had to be put in prison.
