President Donald Trump is standing strong with his National Security Advisor Mike Waltz after a leaked group chat caused a media frenzy. The president called the criticism against Waltz “unfair” and blasted The Atlantic magazine for spreading lies. This happened after the magazine’s editor was accidentally added to a private chat where officials discussed plans to strike terrorists in Yemen.
Trump made it clear that Waltz did nothing wrong. He praised Waltz as a “very good man” who will keep doing great work for America. The president said the whole situation was just a small mistake with technology. He pointed out that no secret information was shared in the chat. Trump also called The Atlantic “boring” and said it’s a failing magazine that hates him.
The leak happened when Jeffrey Goldberg, a reporter from The Atlantic, was added to a Signal group by accident. This group included top officials like Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Vice President JD Vance. They were talking about plans to hit Houthi terrorists in Yemen. Goldberg claims he saw attack details, but the White House says nothing classified was discussed.
Democrats are demanding Waltz resign, but Trump isn’t backing down. He said firing Waltz would only please his critics, and that’s not going to happen. The president called Goldberg a “total sleazebag” who makes up stories to hurt his administration. Waltz took full responsibility for the mix-up but said it was a simple error, not a conspiracy.
The White House admits the mistake was embarrassing but insists our national security was never at risk. They’re reviewing how the accident happened and tightening rules to prevent future leaks. Waltz promised they’ll keep protecting America while learning from this mess. He blamed dishonest journalists for trying to twist the story against Trump.
Trump supporters see this as another attack by the liberal media. They argue the real story is how the president keeps winning against terrorists, not some chat app blunder. The administration says the Yemen strikes were successful, wiping out threats without spilling secrets.
Meanwhile, officials like CIA Director John Ratcliffe told Congress no laws were broken. They confirmed Signal is approved for work chats, as long as classified details aren’t shared. The president says they might stop using the app, but praised it as the best tool available at the time.
This scandal shows how the media jumps on any chance to attack Trump’s team. But the president’s loyal supporters know the truth – he’s focused on keeping America safe, while fake news outlets like The Atlantic try to distract from his victories. The White House is moving forward, stronger and smarter, to keep delivering results for the American people.
