Overview

  • President Donald Trump announced he will meet with Jeffrey Goldberg and Atlantic journalists Michael Scherer and Ashley Parker for an Oval Office interview later today.
  • The interview follows the 'Signalgate' incident, where Goldberg was mistakenly added to a Signal chat discussing Yemen military plans, leading to a widely publicized leak.
  • Trump has criticized Goldberg for previous reporting, including the 2020 'suckers and losers' story, which he has repeatedly called a hoax.
  • The Atlantic's upcoming feature, titled 'The Most Consequential President of this Century,' is expected to explore Trump's presidency and legacy.
  • Trump framed the interview as a test of The Atlantic's ability to provide fair coverage, despite their history of critical reporting on his administration.
