Trump calls Atlantic story ‘fake news,’ won’t fire anyone over Signal group chat leak


President Donald Trump again addressed the stunning Signal messaging app scandal from earlier this week, calling the Atlantic’s reporting on it “fake news” and suggesting he won’t be firing any of his Cabinet members who were part of the group chat.

The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg reported earlier this week that he was inadvertently added to a Signal group chat discussing imminent strikes on the Yemeni Houthis. In the encrypted chat were many of Trump’s top Cabinet members, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, national security adviser Mike Waltz, and Vice President JD Vance. Since the national security lapse, calls have come from many figures on the Left for Hegseth, Waltz, or the pair, to resign.
