Trump administration national security advisor Mike Waltz and other
staffers are out at the National Security Council, sources confirmed to
Fox News.
Fox News confirmed Waltz and his deputy, Alex Wong, were ousted
Thursday. Sources said additional staffers removed from the office will
likely be announced, and President Donald Trump is expected to speak
publicly about the matter.
Waltz, who previously served as a Florida congressman and as a decorated
combat Green Beret, has come under fire from Democrats and critics since
March, when The Atlantic magazine's Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg
published a firsthand account of getting added to a Signal group chat
with top national security leaders, including Waltz, Secretary of
Defense Pete Hegseth and CIA Director John Ratcliffe, while they
discussed strikes against Yemen terrorists.
Waltz took responsibility for the inclusion of a journalist in the group
chat, telling Fox News' Laura Ingraham, "I take full responsibility. I
built the group," he said. "It's embarrassing. We're going to get to the
bottom of it."
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News Digital
earlier Monday when asked about reports claiming Waltz and others would
be shown the door, "We are not going to respond to reporting from
anonymous sources."
