My guess would be the journalist wasn't the one being tested, it was one of the other members. Adding the journalist would be how it was leaked.

I can't buy this, because everyone in the group can see who added other members (at least until disappearing messages time out that information). If it was just someone leaking they could do that by taking screenshots of the government group and then sending them to Jeffrey Goldberg in a separate chat.
