Mike Waltz takes ‘full responsibility’ for Signal group chat leak

Mike Waltz, a US national security adviser, was responsible for a group chat in Yemen at Yemen’s reporter’s company with a mistake in high -ranking officials.

Waltz added to Fox News on Tuesday that it was “embarrassed.”

President Donald Trump and the head of the US Intelligence Agency said they stopped security risks and said they were not shared.

But the Democrats and some Republicans demanded an investigation of some lawmakers described as a major violation.

Atlantic Magazine Editor Jeffrey Goldberg has reported that a user named Mike Waltz was added to the signal chat.

I broke the story in his article He said he had a military plan for the US strike in Yemen, including a weapon package, a goal and a timing two hours ago. The contents were suspended from the sculpture.

Waltz could not explain how Goldberg chatted in an interview with the FOX News, but contradicted with Trump, he said that his employees were not responsible and his contacts without other names would be in the position of Goldberg.

Waltz added that Goldberg’s number was not on his phone.

“100% can be said,” Waltz added that Waltz had a conversation with Elon Musk.

President Trump overpowered this incident and called “Glich” “not at all.”

In an interview with Newsmax, Trump said that the person who worked with Mike Waltz had a phone number of Goldberg at a low level.

National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, a member of the group, Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe denied that the information classified at the Senate Hearing Tuesday was shared with the message chain.

The signal group chat included the vice president JD Vance and the Secretary of Defense Pete.

Mark Warner, vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said:

In his report, Goldberg said that Chat officials discussed the possibility that Europe would pay US protection costs for major transport lanes.

The account related to Waltz was written on March 14.

He added that his team was in cooperation with the Pentagon and state departments to compile Europeans and decide how to impose relevant expenses for Europeans.

At some point in the thread, the Vance account would benefit Europeans because of the dependence on shipping lanes.

The user who responded to HegSeth after 3 minutes responded: “VP: I fully share aversion to Europe’s free loading. It’s pathetic.”

This revelation sent a shock wave through Washington, and urged litigation and questions about why high -level officials discussed such sensitive issues about potential civilian apps.

Some national security experts insisted that leaks were a major operation, and archive experts warned that they had violated the law on presidential records.

The US supervisor, a non -party surveillance organization, sued public officials who participated in the chat for alleged violations of federal records and administrative procedures.

The group said that by automatically set up to automatically delete the message, the White House officials violated the law that required the White House officials to submit their records to the National Archives.

According to a document gained by the BBC’s US partner CBS, the National Security Agency warned the employees last month for the weakness of the signal.
