Jeffrey Goldberg is back at it again—wielding his pen like a hatchet and failing spectacularly. The so-called editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, and long-time anti-Trump fabulist, just faceplanted with his latest attempt to smear Team Trump. In a wild story that was supposed to be a smoking gun, Goldberg claimed that former Trump officials shared “classified war plans” against Houthi terrorists in a private Signal group chat.
Cue the dramatic music. Except… there were no war plans. None. Zip. Nada.
Turns out, Goldberg’s breathless headline was built on the usual shaky foundation of innuendo, selective leaks, and his own desperate need to stay relevant in a media ecosystem that’s moved on from the Russiagate fan fiction he used to peddle.
The full Signal transcript—yes, the entire conversation—has been released. And guess what? No sources. No methods. No classified info. Just a bunch of former officials, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, discussing public events and strategizing about how to handle Biden’s weak response to escalating global threats.
Goldberg, identified as “JG” in the chat, clearly misunderstood—or intentionally misrepresented—what he was looking at. He sold it as high drama, a constitutional crisis, a leak of top-secret military action. In reality, it was about as spicy as a lukewarm cup of government coffee.
Mike Waltz, who Goldberg laughably claimed invited him into the chat (still unclear how that happened), immediately clapped back: “No locations. No sources & methods. NO WAR PLANS.” He went further, reminding everyone that our foreign partners had already been notified of the strikes. That’s not a leak—that’s diplomacy.
No locations.
No sources & methods.
NO WAR PLANS.
Foreign partners had already been notified that strikes were imminent.
BOTTOM LINE: President Trump is protecting America and our interests.

Full Signal text chain has been released.
There's nothing in it but the pros and cons of striking now vs waiting a month.
It's not war plans. It's not classified info.
It's a conversation, and nice to see cabinet members and staffers hashing out the best way to move forward.… pic.twitter.com/OTNYgHr3VP

JD Vance chimed in too, torching Goldberg’s credibility like a bonfire on the Fourth of July. Remember when Goldberg falsely accused former DNI John Ratcliffe of exposing a CIA agent? Turns out Ratcliffe was just naming his chief of staff. Oops.
It’s very clear Goldberg oversold what he had. But one thing in particular really stands out.
Remember when he was attacking Ratcliffe for blowing the cover for a CIA agent? Turns out Ratcliffe was simply naming his chief of staff. https://t.co/BUGbX6gZDZ

This is the same Goldberg who pushed the fake “Trump called troops losers” story with anonymous sources that magically disappeared when asked to go on the record. He’s the clickbait king of regime media—a narrative peddler who cries “scandal” every time President Trump so much as breathes.
The only classified material here is Goldberg’s credibility—classified as “nonexistent.”
