Trump will give an interview to the Atlantic editor-in-chief who published the correspondence from Signal

US President Donald Trump will give an interview to Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, who in March published an article about senior American officials discussing attacks on the Houthis in the Signal messenger. Trump wrote about this on April 24 in the ThuthSocial social network.

"Today, I will meet, of all people, with Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor of The Atlantic, and the man responsible for many fictional stories about me, including the fictional hoax about losers and Signal," Trump wrote.

The American leader also stated that he would hold this conversation out of curiosity and as a competition with himself, "just to see if it was possible that The Atlantic was being truthful."

Trump's team is once again being accused of leaking data. What the media is writing

The scandalous publication of The Atlantic magazine discussing attacks on the Houthis by the US administration became known on March 25. Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of the magazine, said that on March 11, he received a request to connect to Signal from a user under the nickname Mike Waltz. Two days later, Goldberg received a notification about being added to a group chat called "Houthis small group."

Later, on March 26, it became known that the American human rights organization American Oversight filed a lawsuit in the Federal court of the District of Columbia against the head of the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth. In response, on March 27, Trump said that the Secretary of Defense had nothing to do with the incident.

On March 30, Trump announced that he was not going to fire anyone from his team after the scandalous leak of messages from a group chat.

On April 20, The New York Times (NYT) newspaper, citing sources, reported that Hegseth had sent detailed information about the strikes by the US Armed Forces in Yemen to the Signal messenger chat, which also included his wife Jennifer, brother Phil and lawyer Tim Parlatore. As indicated in the media, he shared the same data in a scandalous chat in which the editor of The Atlantic appeared.

The next day, White House press Secretary Caroline Leavitt said that Trump strongly supports Hegseth's activities.
