And yet the White House continued to insist that nothing unusual had happened, as if the sky were blue during a hurricane. “No locations,” wrote Michael Waltz, the national security adviser, who was responsible for inviting Goldberg into the chat. “No sources & methods. NO WAR PLANS.” From President Trump to Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, everyone insisted that there was nothing classified or even particularly sensitive about the information in the chat, leading Goldberg and his colleagues to reconsider their careful decision on Monday not to publish the military details that Hegseth had texted. Rather than acknowledge the discretion of the editors, White House officials said the newly released texts showed that the magazine had been lying all along. “What scumbags!” wrote Taylor Budowich, the deputy chief of staff.
Normally, the F.B.I. would already be looking into this security breach, but that isn’t going to happen under Trump’s lackey director, Kash Patel, and the White House can probably prevail on congressional Republicans not to conduct hearings or a proper investigation. But what members of the administration can no longer effectively do is pretend that their incompetent and reckless actions didn’t happen. It’s all there in black and white and in childish strong-arm emojis, and history will not be fooled by their cheap attempt to edit the facts.
