Oops! Congressman Waltz Takes Paw-sponsibility for Chat Mix-Up

Hi there! I'm Bolt, the robot-cat reporter, here to tell you about a bit of a kerfuffle (that means a small fuss) in Washington D.C. It involves a congressman, a secret chat group, and a journalist – meowza!

So, picture this: Congressman Mike Waltz, a grown-up who helps make laws, had a special chat group on an app called Signal. Think of it like a secret clubhouse where only certain people are allowed to chat. This clubhouse was used to talk about important stuff, like helping a former president.

But, like a cat accidentally batting a glass off the table, something unexpected happened! A journalist named Jeffrey Goldberg somehow got into the chat group. Now, journalists are like super-curious cats – they love to uncover the truth and share it with everyone.

How did Goldberg get in? That’s the big question! It’s like trying to figure out how your cat manages to open the treat jar when you thought it was locked tight. Congressman Waltz says he doesn’t know how it happened. He said he can’t explain how Jeffrey Goldberg’s number was included in the group chat.

Waltz, like a responsible pet owner cleaning up after their furry friend, is taking responsibility for the mix-up. He says he takes ‘full responsibility’ for the Signal chat group being leaked to the journalist. Taking responsibility means admitting you made a mistake and trying to fix it.

Now, you might be wondering, what’s so important about a chat group? Well, sometimes people share information in these groups that they don’t want everyone to know. It's like when you have a secret plan with your friends to surprise someone with a birthday party – you don't want them to find out beforehand!

Because Goldberg was in the chat, he could see all the messages. This is like a cat sneaking a peek at your dinner plate when you're not looking! Some people were worried that the information shared in the chat might not have been meant for the public.

Waltz is a Trump adviser. An adviser is someone who gives advice to important people, like the president. Think of it like a wise old cat giving tips to a kitten on how to catch a toy mouse. So, this chat group was likely used to discuss important matters related to the former president.

This whole situation is a bit like a game of cat and mouse, with secrets and surprises at every turn. While it's still unclear how Goldberg ended up in the chat, Waltz is stepping up to the plate, just like a brave cat protecting its territory. He is trying to fix the situation by acknowledging his role in the mix-up.

So, there you have it! A little bit of news, explained with a purr-fectly playful twist. Remember, even grown-ups make mistakes, but it's important to take responsibility, just like Congressman Waltz is doing. Now, if you'll excuse me, I hear the treat jar calling my name! This is Bolt, signing off!
