Several of Donald Trump’s allies are urging the president to fire his national security adviser, Michael Waltz, after sensitive military information was discussed in a commercial app chat group that included a journalist. The group consisted of high-ranking officials, including Vice President JD Vance and Trump’s chief of staff, among others. The discussion was about strikes in Yemen, which some argue should not have been shared in such an unsecure platform.
While Trump initially stated that the information shared was not classified, he later expressed uncertainty when questioned by reporters. The handling of sensitive information has caused concern among Trump’s Republican allies, with some calling for Waltz to be held accountable and fired. Others believe that focusing on whether the information was classified is missing the point, as the administration is facing a political crisis.
Despite calls for someone to take the fall, Trump is standing by Waltz and the officials involved. Critics argue that the use of the commercial app for such discussions was a major mistake, and the situation has been labeled as a serious problem by some in Trump’s circle. Although it is unlikely that Trump will fire Waltz or other officials directly, some believe that a resignation would be a suitable outcome to address the mishap and restore trust in the administration.
