Mike Waltz leaves the Trump management after the “Signal” scandal

The national security advisor of US President Donald Trump, Mike Waltz, will leave his position after a scandal in which a journalist accidentally included a chat between officials about air strikes in Yemen.

Waltz and his deputy Alex Wong step back, reported CBS News. According to Fox News, Trump will soon comment on this matter.

The former congress member is the first high -ranking civil servant to leave Trump's administration in his second term, which was previously more stable than the first in terms of changes in personnel.

Waltz was under pressure after the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic Magazine announced in March that Waltz had wrongly added him to a chat about the signal messaging app about attacks on Yemeni Houthis.

From there, the plan for the attack was leaked through, including the time in which US military aircraft decreased to bomb targets in Yemen, with the first messages being sent only half an hour before the start.

Defense Minister Pete Hageet is also under pressure over the scandal. | Bgnes
