Mike Waltz Admits Signal Chat Leak on Yemen Strikes

National Security Adviser Mike Waltz is under scrutiny after a leaked Signal chat revealed discussions about U.S. military operations in Yemen, contradicting his claims that no 'war plans' were shared. The chat, shared by The Atlantic, included details about airstrikes and aircraft used, prompting calls for Waltz and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to resign. While Waltz accepted responsibility for the leak, he also accused The Atlantic's editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, of potentially hacking into the chat, despite his own admission of creating the group. President Trump has defended Waltz, suggesting the incident was a minor error and not a serious issue. The Atlantic has stood by its reporting, emphasizing its role in independent journalism, while social media reactions highlight the contradiction in the administration's stance on the security of Signal chats. Waltz is set to lead an internal investigation into the matter.
