President Trump said Thursday that he will meet with The Atlantic's editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, for an interview following the Signal chat scandal. Why it matters: Goldberg prompted scrutiny of the Trump administration's ability to handle sensitive information after he revealed that he was mistakenly added to the group chat with top officials discussing war plans.

Conceding it’s a surprising choice to meet with Goldberg, Trump said he wants to gauge whether the journalist will write a fair piece about him.
