In a previous interview with PBS, Goldberg discussed the event and said it was lucky he was added rather than someone who supports the Houthis.
He told PBS: “If they were going to pick an errant phone number, I mean at least it wasn’t somebody who supported the Houthis,
Because they were actually handing out information that I believe could have endangered the lives of American service people who were involved in that operation.”
In a statement, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said, “The attacks on the Houthis have been highly successful and effective,” according to the BBC.
“President Trump continues to have the utmost confidence in his national security team, including National Security Advisor Mike Waltz.”
