Waltz claimed that he's "never met, don't know, never communicated with" [[Jeffrey Goldberg]], the editor-in-chief of the [[anti-Trump]] [[deep state]] rag ''[[The Atlantic]]''. Investigative reporter Paul Sperry tweeted: "Though Waltz insists, 'I wasn't talking to [Goldberg],' a [[US intel]] official told me Waltz was a source for Goldberg while on [[HPSCI]]. 'There's no need for an investigation to figure out how he was added to the chat. Goldberg was in his address book b/c he's been talking to him'".<ref>https://twitter.com/paulsperry_/status/1904966746525868173</ref> However Waltz was photographed standing with Goldberg during a 2021 event at the [[French]] Embassy in [[Washington, D.C.]].
