White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt spoke to the media to provide updates on the Trump Administration as well as destroy The Atlantic magazine & its editor-in-chief’s lies & sensationalist reporting of the released internal messages from the encrypted messaging app Signal.
“The Mainstream media continues to be focused on a sensationalized story from the failing Atlantic Magazine that is falling apart by the hour,” said Leavitt Wednesday. “We have said all along that no classified material was sent on this thread, there were no locations, no sources, or methods revealed and there were certainly no war plans discussed.”
“The Atlantic has even admitted this themselves. Their release of these internal messages validates the truth, which we have been saying all along.”

Also today, Trump’s team weighed-in on the waning controversy.
.@SecDef wrecks the Atlantic for their sensationalist reporting: "I noticed this morning, out came something that doesn't look like war plans.

.@SecDef: Under the Biden admin, we let our troops, and our ships get shot at, to no consequence. What does that look like? Weakness. What @POTUS has said is, Peace Through Strength is back. Our ongoing campaign against the Houthis has been devastatingly effective. pic.twitter.com/H7GvmG03oa

CIA Director John Ratcliffe just completely destroyed Jeffrey Goldberg and the Atlantic for making up lies about him and the Trump admin at large.
