Trump defends Waltz amid Signal group chat scandal

President Trump defended National Security Adviser Mike Waltz after a Signal group chat leak exposed sensitive discussions about airstrikes on Houthi rebels. Trump stated that Waltz does not need to apologize for the incident, which involved the unintended addition of journalist Jeffrey Goldberg to the chat, and emphasized that 'no classified information' was shared, despite Goldberg's assertions to the contrary. The president acknowledged the challenges of using technology for communication, suggesting that Waltz may not use Signal in the future. During a meeting with reporters, Trump reiterated his support for Waltz amid calls for his resignation, labeling the backlash as 'unfair.' Waltz also criticized Goldberg, indicating that the leak has raised questions about the reliability of media coverage on sensitive matters. The White House is reviewing how the breach occurred and considering improvements to their communication methods.
