According to Politico, calls are now growing within the Trump White House for U.S. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz to be removed following yesterday’s revealed intelligence breach in an article by The Atlantic, with one administration official stating, “It was reckless not to check who was on the thread.

You can’t have recklessness as the national security adviser,” while another official close to the White House is claimed to have said, “Everyone in the White House can agree on one thing: Mike Waltz is a fucking idiot.”

Following the arrival earlier today of 2 B-2 “Spirit” Long-Range Strategic Stealth Bombers, with the 509th Bomb Wing from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. Communications between the bombers and ground stations in San Fransisco have confirmed that another flight of 2-3 B-2s from Whiteman are currently crossing the Pacific Ocean destined for Diego Garcia. This is seeming like a much larger buildup than would be needed for strikes just against the Houthis in Yemen.

During an interview tonight with Fox News, U.S. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz admits that he made the group-chat on Signal about the strikes against Yemen earlier this month which included Jeffrey Goldberg, but then proceeds to suggest that Goldberg somehow “snuck his way into the group” using someone else’s contact information, though he refuses to state who he believed was actually in the chat instead of Goldberg. Waltz then states, “I can tell you for 100%... I don't text him, he wasn't on my phone,” despite Signal requiring you to have a contact and/or number saved in order to add them to a group-chat; he then adds that he has spoken to Elon Musk and they have the best “technical minds” looking into how this happened, before going on to discuss the success of the strikes on Yemen.

Following continued downplaying of the incident by officials with the Trump Administration, who continue to claim that what was talked about in the recent Signal group-chat regarding strikes against the Houthis in Yemen was not considered “war planning” and was not classified; Jeffrey Goldberg, Editor-in-Chief for The Atlantic, has now released what appears to be the full chat-log for the group in Signal, as well as the identity of every person included in the chat. The log proves that National Security Advisor Mike Waltz was the one to add Goldberg to the group, as well as claims by Goldberg that information about strike timing, weapons systems, and targets were posted in the chat by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth hours before the start of the strike operation in Yemen.
