Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor in chief of The Atlantic, made the jaw-dropping revelation on Monday that President Donald Trump’s national security team added him to a top secret chat on the military strikes in Yemen.

National Security Adviser Mike Waltz started the conversation on Signal, an encrypted messaging app, to discuss the plans to bomb the Houthis in Yemen.

The group included users identified as Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

The story blew up the internet when it was posted and several critics asked why the administration was discussing sensitive material on an app instead of government systems designed to communicate classified data.

However, Watters defended Waltz’s mistake Monday and claimed Democrats have had far worse security scandals.

‘Did you ever try to start a group text? You’re adding people and you accidentally add the wrong person?’ Watters said.

‘All of a sudden your Aunt Mary knows all your raunchy plans for the bachelor party? Well, that kind of happened today with the Trump administration.’

Watters dismissed concerns over a security breach and compared it to Hillary Clinton’s decision to use a private email server while serving as President Barack Obama’s Secretary of State.

Clinton’s email scandal blew up during her race to become the first female president in 2016.

‘But it’s not like they home brewed a server and then bleached it, or kept classified documents in their garages next to their corvette. I’m sure it won’t happen again,’ Watters said.

The Fox News hosts claimed Waltz ‘accidentally’ added a ‘not a good reporter’ to the group and blasted Goldberg as a ‘hoax artist.’

‘Jeffrey Goldberg from, one of the biggest hoax artists around. Well, he heard some things he probably shouldn’t have, but could have been a wee bit of a security breach,’ said Watters.

Clinton herself trolled the Trump administration Monday after The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief revealed he was accidentally added to the group chat.

‘You have got to be kidding me,’ Clinton wrote on social, using the giant eyes emoji and sharing Goldberg’s Atlantic story.

Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign was derailed in part due to her decision to use a private email server while serving as President Barack Obama’s Secretary of State.

Her rival, President Trump, consistently attacked Clinton over using the unsecured server, with his crowds chanting, ‘lock her up!’

Trump ordered the strikes against the Iran-backed rebels in Yemen as a warning to Tehran. The Houthi rebels were targeting ships on the Red Sea from countries with ties to Israel, including the U.S. and UK.

Waltz started the principles group on Signal to coordinate on it, naming it ‘Houthi PC small group.’

Goldberg had his doubts when he found himself added, admitting he was worried that the text chain was a ‘disinformation operation.’

But he also found, as he watched the texts flow, that the statements in it sounded genuine and some of the details matched up.

Trump defended Waltz in the wake of the Signal app scandal, calling him a ‘good man’ who ‘learned a lesson.’

His support comes amid calls for the national security adviser to step down, with one official calling him a ‘f***ing idiot.’

Trump told NBC News: ‘Michael Waltz has learned a lesson, and he’s a good man.’ He blamed staff for the mix up.

When asked what he was told about how Goldberg came to be added to the Signal chat, Trump said, ‘It was one of Michael’s people on the phone. A staffer had his number on there.’
