Months after Signal group chat leak, Trump announces he’ll be interviewed The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg | World News
US President Donald Trump announced that he will sit for an interview with The Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg on Thursday, despite accusing Goldberg of publishing “many fictional stories” about him over the years.
Goldberg was behind last month’s widely discussed report about accidentally being added to a private Signal chat involving Trump adminration officials allegedly discussing an attack in Yemen—an incident dubbed “SignalGate.”
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “Later today I will be meeting with, of all people, Jeffrey Goldberg, the Editor of The Atlantic, and the person responsible for many fictional stories about me, including the made-up HOAX on ‘Suckers and Losers’ and, SignalGate, something he was somewhat more ‘successful’ with.”

Trump noted that Michael Scherer and Ashley Parker—Atlantic writers he described as “not exactly pro-Trump”—will also be part of the interview team. According to Trump, the article they plan to write is tentatively titled “The Most Consequential President of this Century.”
“I am doing this interview out of curiosity, and as a competition with myself, just to see if it’s possible for The Atlantic to be ‘truthful,’” Trump wrote. “Are they capable of writing a fair story on ‘TRUMP’? The way I look at it, what can be so bad – I WON!”
