The Atlantic magazine editor Jeffrey Goldberg was propelled to global fame -- and roundly attacked by Trump and other cabinet officials -- after publishing details of the sensitive exchanges on the Signal app in the run up to US strikes on rebel Huthis in Yemen.
“I am doing this interview out of curiosity, and as a competition with myself, just to see if it's possible for The Atlantic to be 'truthful,' Trump said.
Hegseth, who is a military veteran but had no previous national security experience, revealed the times of strikes on the Iran-backed Huthis and the type of aircraft, missiles and drones used -- all before the attacks actually happened.
Trump has so far stood by Hegseth and other top officials on the chat, dismissing the scandal as a “witch hunt” and arguing that his Pentagon chief is doing a “great job.”
Trump has angrily denied the claim on multiple occasions but John Kelly, his chief of staff at the time of the purported remark, confirmed Goldberg's reporting.
