Trump Criticizes Waltz for Signal Chat Security Flaw

National Security Adviser Mike Waltz has come under fire after a Signal group chat, which discussed sensitive military operations in Yemen, inadvertently included The Atlantic's editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. Waltz accepted responsibility for the error, claiming it was 'embarrassing,' but faced criticism for not fully owning up to the mistake. President Trump defended Waltz, downplaying the incident as a minor glitch while emphasizing that it did not compromise national security. However, the leak has raised concerns among Democratic senators about the potential risks to classified information. Additionally, the Department of Defense issued a warning regarding the vulnerabilities of Signal messaging, advising against its use for classified communications. The controversy has sparked broader discussions about accountability and leadership in government communications.
