Trump Supports Waltz Following Sensitive Military Chat Leak

President Donald Trump has expressed his support for national security adviser Mike Waltz following a significant security breach where journalist Jeffrey Goldberg was mistakenly added to a Signal chat discussing sensitive military operations in Yemen. Trump downplayed the incident, claiming it had 'no impact at all' on military actions and described it as a minor glitch. Despite internal calls for Waltz's resignation and criticisms from Democratic leaders labeling the situation 'astonishingly cavalier,' Trump and White House officials, including press secretary Karoline Leavitt, have defended Waltz's position. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also weighed in, dismissing concerns about the chat as exaggerated. The breach has sparked scrutiny over the use of unsecured messaging apps for classified discussions, prompting calls from lawmakers for accountability. Meanwhile, Trump dismissed media criticism as unfounded, stating he continues to have confidence in his national security team.
