As part of ongoing efforts to escape the growing scandal around leaked war plans, Donald Trumps White House has now resorted to attacking the spouse of Atlantic writer Jeffrey Goldberg, who broke the story.
During her daily press briefing on Wednesday, White House press secretary (spokesmodel) Karoline Leavitt opened a new front in the White House effort.
If this story proves anything, it proves that Democrats and their propagandists in the mainstream media know how to fabricate, orchestrate, and disseminate a misinformation campaign quite well, Leavitt said. Theres arguably no one in the media who loves manufacturing and pushing hoaxes more than Jeffrey Goldberg. Goldberg is an anti-Trump hater. He is a registered Democrat. Goldbergs wife is also a registered Democrat and a big Democrat donor who used to work under who? Hillary Clinton.
Leavitt did not offer any evidence that Goldberg makes up stories. In fact, a past Goldberg article that Trump has complained about for yearsthat Trump called dead veterans suckers and loserswas later verified by Trumps former chief of staff, John Kelly.

My favorite was that this was a deliberate leak to let them Houthis know that we mean bizness!!11
Not once did they blame Hegseth or Trump.

These people either compromise their principles or never had any to begin with.
