President Donald Trump has revealed that he’s meeting with corporate media hoaxer Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor of The Atlantic, who peddled the “SignalGate” story.
Trump announced on Thursday that he was planning to sit for an interview with Goldberg.
The move is surprising considering that Trump even noted in the announcement that Goldberg is “the person responsible for many fictional stories about me.”
Goldberg has used his outlet to perpetuate several hoaxes about the president and his administration.
Trump declared his intentions in a post on his Truth Social platform.
In a post on the platform, Trump revealed that he planned to take the meeting with Goldberg “out of curiosity.”
Trump said he was also meeting with two of Goldberg’s writers, both of whom he described as unfriendly to the administration.
“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 began.
He was referencing one story that had circulated during his first term in the White House before pivoting to the recent SNAFU
