President Donald Trump suggested that a “very innocent staffer” may have been the source of the recent Signal group chat, which has rocked the administration this week.

The Atlantic released a report on Wednesday in which Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg included messages in the chat from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and the timeline for strikes planned against Houthi targets. The president predicted an answer to who added Goldberg to the group chat could be found on Wednesday and suggested that Goldberg may have gotten into the chat “with a staffer” by accident.
