Trump also acknowledged that his White House national security advisor, Mike Waltz, took responsibility for mistakenly adding Goldberg to the Signal chat.“Mike Waltz … he claimed responsibility, I would imagine.

Trump again played down the controversy over whether or not Hegseth shared secret information that could have put the operation at risk by focusing on the mission’s success.“There was no harm done because the attack was unbelievably successful that night,” Trump said.
