On Tuesday night, however, Waltz said he was the one responsible for what took place.

"I take full responsibility. I built the group," Waltz told Fox News' Laura Ingraham.

At the same time, Waltz tried to flip the script and blame Goldberg -- suggesting the editor could have somehow wormed his way in to the group chat.

"Of course, I didn't see this loser in the group. It looked like someone else. Now, whether he did it deliberately or it happened in some other technical mean, is something we're trying to figure out," Waltz said, without evidence, on Fox News.

Signal registers users through their phone numbers and group chats are controlled by users designated as administrators, who have the authority to invite and reject users at will.

"I didn't hack into anyone's phone," Goldberg told ABC News Live anchor Kyra Phillips on Wednesday. "Mike Waltz invited me to Signal and then he invited me to a group. I don't know how to say it more simply than that."

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, in testimony before the House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday, told lawmakers that adding Goldberg was a "mistake."

"It was a mistake that a reporter was inadvertently added to a signal chat with high-level national security principles, having a policy discussion about imminent strikes against the Houthis and the effects of the strike," Gabbard said.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Wednesday said Waltz "has taken responsibility for this matter" and it's under review.
