Trump Agreed to Sit Down Interview with Serial Hoax Reporter Jeffrey Goldberg [WATCH]

President Donald J. Trump announced Thursday that he plans to meet with The Atlantic’s Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg, despite previously accusing Goldberg of publishing “fictional stories” about him, including the widely disputed 2020 article claiming Trump called fallen World War I soldiers “suckers” and “losers.”

Trump revealed the planned meeting in a post on Truth Social, saying Goldberg would be joined by Atlantic reporters Michael Scherer and Ashley Parker.

The three reportedly reached out to Trump’s team to conduct an interview for a story tentatively titled “The Most Consequential President of this Century.”

“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 wrote.

“Jeffrey is bringing with him Michael Scherer and Ashley Parker, not exactly pro-Trump writers, either, to put it mildly!”

Trump described the interview as an experiment of sorts.

“I am doing this interview out of curiosity, and as a competition with myself, just to see if it’s possible for The Atlantic to be ‘truthful.’ Are they capable of writing a fair story on ‘TRUMP’? The way I look at it, what can be so bad — I WON!” he added.

Goldberg recently made headlines after being inadvertently added to a Signal group chat that included Trump administration Cabinet members discussing Houthi attacks in the Middle East.

In his initial reporting, Goldberg referred to the leaked conversation as “War Plans,” though he later revised the term to “Attack Plans” in a follow-up article.

The report, dubbed “SignalGate,” sparked widespread media coverage and led to criticism from several Trump allies who questioned the framing of the messages.

In 2020, Goldberg published an anonymously sourced article claiming Trump had disparaged American soldiers who died during World War I.

The report was immediately denied by Trump and refuted by several administration officials.

John Bolton, who served as National Security Adviser at the time, told The New York Times that he did not hear Trump make such remarks.

“I didn’t hear that,” Bolton said.

“I’m not saying he didn’t say them later in the day or another time but I was there for that discussion.”

Ashley Parker, one of the two reporters accompanying Goldberg for the upcoming interview, is currently a staff writer at The Atlantic.

She previously spent eight years at The Washington Post as a senior national political correspondent.

Michael Scherer, also now with The Atlantic, previously worked at The Washington Post and served as the Washington bureau chief for Time magazine.
