Trump responds to "group chat gate": Very satisfied with the outcome


US President Trump said in an interview on Tuesday that he was "very satisfied" with the explanation and handling of how a magazine editor eventually joined a group chat with members of the White House National Security Team. Trump talked to Newsmax host Gregg Kelly about how Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic magazine, was invited to join a group chat about the attack on the Houthi armed forces in Yemen. Trump said that the contact with Goldberg was provided by the White House National Security Adviser Waltz team. "We believe this is a authorized person; I guess it's someone who works with Waltz - a lower level person who has Goldberg's phone number, or has called through an APP, I don't know how, this person answered the phone," Trump told Kelly. "As far as I know, this is not classified. There is no classified information. There is no problem, this attack was a great success." "I can only do what others tell me to do; I didn't participate. But I was told - others didn't participate at all. But in fact, I feel very confident," Trump added.
