0:20Now PlayingDefense Secretary Pete Hegseth blamed the media on Monday for reports he shared military plans to an unclassified Signal chat.
Speaking to reporters traveling with him as he landed in Hawaii for his first trip to the Indo-Pacific as defense secretary, Pete Hegseth said “nobody was texting war plans and that’s all I have to say about that.”
Instead, Hegseth tried to discredit The Atlantic Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg who was added to the Signal chat by National Security Adviser Mike Waltz and reported on the texts. Goldberg said he received the Signal invitation from Mike Waltz, Trump's national security adviser, who was also in the group chat.
Hegseth in his first comments on the matter attacked Goldberg as “deceitful” and a “discredited so-called journalist” while alluding to previous critical reporting of Trump from the publication.
