CNN's Scott Jennings destroyed the narrative from Goldberg's article and the subsequent claims from the left-wing media.

The magazine's hit piece, published Monday, alleged that senior officials—including National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Vice President JD Vance, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth—used the encrypted messaging app to plan an operation in Yemen. Goldberg, who was mistakenly added to the chat, claimed he initially thought it was a hoax until airstrikes confirmed its authenticity.

CNN's John Berman framed the controversy as a potential legal violation, suggesting that the Trump administration endangered national security. But when asked about it, Jennings responded with a reality check.

"Well, sure. I mean, it's a shocking thing, and you know, they've admitted that it was a mistake and admitted that it's authentic, so they're owning up to it," Jennings said. "I think they're still, based on what I've heard tonight, trying to figure out how it happened. I'm not sure that National Security Adviser Waltz even knows Goldberg. In fact, I don't believe he knows him and has never met him."
