White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt just weighed in this morning on the breach of the high level communications between top Trump officials that was revealed by Atlantic chief editor Jeffrey Goldberg yesterday.
Here’s what Leavitt wrote:
Jeffrey Goldberg is well-known for his sensationalist spin. Here are the facts about his latest story:
1. No “war plans” were discussed.
2. No classified material was sent to the thread.
3. The White House Counsel’s Office has provided guidance on a number of different platforms for President Trump’s top officials to communicate as safely and efficiently as possible.
As the National Security Council stated, the White House is looking into how Goldberg’s number was inadvertently added to the thread.
Thanks to the strong and decisive leadership of President Trump, and everyone in the group, the Houthi strikes were successful and effective. Terrorists were killed and that’s what matters most to President Trump.
The media is certainly obsessed with this story but, at this point, it really seems that no major harm was done with this breach.
