<p>White House National Security Adviser Mike Waltz responded to the explosive report in The Atlantic from a reporter who was accidentally included in a Signal chat group where high-level Trump officials were discussing a forthcoming strike on Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen.</p>
<p>Waltz made the remarks to reporters during a meeting on Tuesday where other administration officials were present as the president signed executive orders. He said he has never met or communicated with Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor in chief of The Atlantic, who wrote the story.</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of journalists in this city who have made big names for themselves [by] making up lies about this president, whether it&#8217;s the Russia hoax or making up lies about Gold Star families,&#8221; Waltz said. &#8220;And this [journalist] in particular, I&#8217;ve never met, don&#8217;t know, never communicated with and we are looking into him, reviewing how the heck he got into this room.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;But I&#8217;ll tell you what, the world owes President Trump a favor,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Under Biden, global shipping was shut down — pin-prick attacks months between them, our destroyers being fired upon dozens of times. President Trump took decisive, active action with his national security team, took out the head missileer, knocked out missiles, knocked out headquarters, knocked out communication sites, and for once, as we hear, as you all hear, from every one of our allies, thank God for American leadership again. Thank God for American strength.&#8221;</p>
<p>Waltz said that Goldberg &#8220;wants the world talking about more hoaxes and this kind of nonsense, rather than the freedom that you&#8217;re enabling.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And a key part of our sovereignty is open sea lanes and knocking the crap out of terrorists, which is exactly what your team and Pete Hegseth, a good friend and fellow veteran, is leading the charge on,&#8221; he added.</p>

<p>After President Trump was asked about the Yemen Signal group chat, he asked National Security Advisor Mike Waltz to weigh in.</p>
<p>These are the first public comments from Waltz, who reportedly added Atlantic Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg to the group chat by accident,… <a href="https://t.co/s7I8byz31Y">pic.twitter.com/s7I8byz31Y</a></p>
