The editor-in-chief of current affairs magazine Atlantic, who was the first to denounce the suspicion that US President Donald Trump demeaning veterans as “losers” and “hogu,” said “it’s the beginning.” and said he would do additional reporting.
Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg said in an interview with CNN on the 6th (local time): “There will be additional reports, additional confirmations and additional information on this within days and weeks.”
Day 3’s report, which was followed by almost every major US media outlet, is not the end.
“We have a responsibility and (we will report) no matter what he (President Trump) says,” Goldberg added. “We will not be afraid of the President of the United States. We will do our job. “
After the Atlantic report came out, President Trump violently denounced Atlantic, denying the anonymous reporters in the article as “ liars. ”
The fact that the incumbent president ignores his dedication in American society, where respect for soldiers, especially veterans, is great, is because he could have a negative impact on the road to presidential elections.
As the controversy spiraled out of control, Defense Minister Mark Esper issued a statement to rectify the situation, and even the First Lady, Ms Melania, took a position claiming that the report was not true.
On the 3rd, when President Trump visited France in November 2018, Atlantic canceled a visit to the American soldiers’ cemetery, calling the dead “ losers’ ‘and then using the expression “ Hogu’ ‘to express dedication. of veterans and military personnel. He was reported to have made a demeaning comment. Major US media such as the Washington Post and Fox News reported the same content after going through their own verification process.
The article appeared under the name of Goldberg’s editor-in-chief. Goldberg’s editor-in-chief gave his first interview after James Mathis retired last June.
