Barstool Sports founder\u00a0Dave Portnoy didn\u2019t mince words about the Trump administration\u2019s \u201cf\u2013k up of epic proportions\u201d when top brass inadvertently shared sensitive plans to strike the Houthis with the top editor of Atlantic magazine.<\/p>\n
Portnoy, 48, cut a video message to President Trump, whom he backed in the 2024 election, insisting that heads should roll among the administration\u2019s top brass over the Signal scandal, which he argued can\u2019t be glossed over. <\/p>\n
\u201cTrump, you may love Michael Waltz,\u201d Portnoy said, addressing Trump specifically in a video posted on social media. \u201cYou love Pete Hegseth. You may love these guys. Somebody has to go down.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTo me, it\u2019s Michael Waltz,\u201d he added. \u201cHe\u2019s the one who added him to this conversation. But you can\u2019t have the top of the top security people in the United States \u2014 with the most sensitive information in the world \u2014 adding random editors of a magazine that hates Trump\u2019s guts to a group chat talking about an attack before it happens on a terrorist group.\u201d<\/p>\n
National security adviser Mike Waltz had added Atlantic magazine editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg to a private, encrypted Signal chat named \u201cHouthi PC Small Group\u201d where they deliberated over plans to attack the Yemen-based terrorist group.<\/p>\n
There were 18 high-level officials \u2014 including Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, CIA Director John Ratcliffe and others \u2014 in the Signal chat.<\/p>\n
At one point, Hegseth laid out detailed plans in the chat to strike Houthi targets, giving Goldberg a roughly two-hour heads-up before the military operation ensued.<\/p>\n
Waltz has since denied knowing Goldberg, despite the two being photographed together several years ago, and has been adamant that \u201cI don\u2019t text him, he wasn\u2019t on my phone.\u201d Waltz has even implied that he was faced with a situation where he had Goldberg\u2019s \u201cnumber on someone else\u2019s contact.\u201d<\/p>\n
Amid the growing firestorm, Trump has stood by Waltz and all of his top deputies \u2014 at least for now. Publicly, Trump said that he doesn\u2019t think Waltz should apologize and praised him for \u201cdoing his best.\u201d<\/p>\n
But Portnoy countered that this scandal can\u2019t be glossed over so easily. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t pooh-pooh it. You can\u2019t downplay it. You have to sit up there and be like, \u2018Holy s\u2013t. This is a f\u2013k up of epic proportions. There will be accountability. I will get to the bottom of this,\u2019\u201d the sports guru stressed.<\/p>\n
Goldberg has long been an outspoken critic of Trump, and the president had long railed against him. Portnoy argued that the president has good reason to be hostile toward the Atlantic, which he bashed as one of the \u201cheavy left-leaning media organizations.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI hate them. Trump hates them. They hate Trump. They probably hate me,\u201d Portnoy said.<\/p>\n
\u201cListen, we\u2019ve all texted the wrong person. We are not the secretary of defense, we are not the national security advisor, we are not the\u00a0vice president of the United States.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, mistakes happen. This one can\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
After the bombshell Atlantic piece about the leaked Signal chat came out, Hegseth quickly sniped at Goldberg, telling reporters he was a \u201cdeceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Pentagon boss also claimed that \u201cnobody was texting war plans,\u201d something top White House officials later doubled down on Wednesday after the Atlantic published the full message from Hegseth, which revealed he gave a timeline of plans to strike the Houthis on March 15.<\/p>\n
\u201cPete Hegseth\u2019s immediate reaction, is like, \u2018No, that never happened. We didn\u2019t leak any classified information. No classified information in there,’\u201d Portnoy chided, noting that \u201clots of American soldiers could have died\u201d if the Houthis got those details.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, The Post\u2019s Steven Nelson asked White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt about Portnoy\u2019s scathing critique of the president. <\/p>\n
\u201cGreat respect for Dave Portnoy,\u201d Leavitt said before brushing his assessment aside. <\/p>\n
The National Security Council is conducting an investigation into the leak. Waltz is in charge of staff at the NSC. Additionally White House adviser Elon Musk\u2019s team is slated to assist in the probe, per Leavitt.<\/p>\n
Portnoy posted his critique of Trump shortly after the Atlantic released its follow-up story Wednesday featuring the specific message Hegseth sent regarding the strike timeline. <\/p>\n
\u201cGuess what? It\u2019s super sensitive. It\u2019s super-classified,\u201d Portnoy charged.<\/p>\n
Top Trump administration officials have quibbled over whether the message actually featured classified material. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s surreal that these guys added Jeffrey Goldberg to this group chat. I mean, they were talking about the attack, leading up to the attack, all the way to a couple hours \u2014 when they\u2019re going to do it, the time, the weather, you name it,\u201d Portnoy said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
