US President Trump Sacks National Security Adviser, Michael Waltz Over Alleged Leak Of Sensitive Information

The United States President, Donald Trump, has sacked his National Security Adviser, Michael Waltz, for mistakenly adding a journalist to a highly sensitive Signal group chat detailing planned military strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen.

The Daily Mail confirmed Waltz’s removal, marking the first cabinet-level dismissal of Trump’s second term.

The scandal, dubbed “Signalgate,” erupted after Atlantic editor, Jeffrey Goldberg, was accidentally added to a chat involving 17 senior officials.

Goldberg later published the full content of the messages, triggering widespread condemnation and intense media scrutiny.

A source told the Daily Mail that Waltz’s departure was expected, and Trump is likely to make a formal announcement soon.


Steve Witkoff, the president’s special envoy who has met with Russian President Vladimir Putin, is being considered as a potential replacement.

“This has to do about competence, not ideology,” journalist Mark Halperin said on his 2Way YouTube show. He added, “I do believe he has made up his mind, but he could change his mind.”

Halperin reported “unhappiness throughout the national security establishment” with Waltz and his deputy, Alex Wong, over the breach.

Waltz had kept his position for weeks despite the fallout, appearing on Fox and Friends Thursday morning to praise a new minerals deal with Ukraine as “good for the American taxpayer” and “good for Ukraine.”

He also attended a Cabinet meeting hosted by Trump on Wednesday.

The mistake seriously damaged Waltz’s credibility.

In an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, he tried to explain how Goldberg ended up in the group, saying, “Well, if you have somebody else's and then it, and then somehow it gets sucked in.”

Trump previously held back from firing Waltz, reportedly to avoid giving Goldberg the satisfaction.

But in a recent interview with The Atlantic, the president gave a tepid endorsement: “Waltz is fine. I mean, he’s here. He just left this office. He’s fine. He was beat up also.”

Omo Trump No be Tinubu

With all the bandit wahala, your security heads are still on their seat having unnecessary press conference

Waltz is a Trump Man.
He was not really sacked. He was removed as National security Adviser quite alright but is being transferred to the UN as the US Ambassador.

This is serious. CIA needs to debrief him, Nlfpmod.

In the game of power, You either take bold decisions without sentiments or you get destroyed.
Your enemies are more dangerous than you think they are.

people like him, HARDLY TRUST their ALLLIES

Nigerian politics na play

No delay

Trump's primarily appoints people based on loyalty and not merit, hence, this signalgate mess.

Not a fan of Trump but this is decisive. Can hardly happen in Nigeria.

Are you sure? He appointed him as US ambassador to the UN at thesame time

Trump na no nonsense man walia , but if he was given an ambassadorial role in UN ,then is like a promotion...from special adviser to ambassador, and he don't even need to attack opposition forces to get it...reno Omokri and co abandoned the group chat

Give complete info. He has been nominated as US ambassador to the UN. Some might see him as been promoted. Trump allowed the dust to settle first before making his move. That's leadership.

When village people decide to look into your matter ordinary water sef fit hang in between your teeth.

You can get it better when you have the best idea...

Lol

The guy is addicted to chatrooms, even as an appointed intelligence chief. He committed a follow-up offence by creating another high-level security intelligence group, and added his wife and other family and friends as participants. Bunch of clowns

It’s a demotion. He was formerly the NSA

Alright

It is not a promotion.

Trump does not value that role.

Mike was nominated to UN, stop spreading disinformation.
