Top -Trump officer Mike Waltz displaced according to Signal -Chat group scandal: reports

Washington – Donald Trump's national security advisor is to leave his post – the first big departure of the new term of the president – after he was involved in a scandal about a leak of the chat group, the US media reported on May 1.

Mr. Mike Waltz and his deputy Alex Wong were both ready to leave the White House, reported CBS News and others, while Fox News said Mr. Trump would soon comment on this matter.

The 51-year-old former MEP from Florida lasted a little more than 100 days from Mr. Trump's second term, which was previously more stable than his first.

Mr. Trump drove four national security advisors during his first presidency.

An official of the White House did not confirm the reports and said he would not want to be a announcement ahead.

Mr. Waltz showed no sign that he knew about his upcoming departure when he appeared in Fox News on April 30, where he welcomed the new US mineral contract with Ukraine.

“Nobody said (it) could be done. President Trump said” enacted it, “he said.

He said Mr. Trump increased the recruitment of the US military and added: “This is the leadership of the best, led by our commander -in -chief, who loves the troops and love him.”

Mr. Waltz was also present at MR Trump's television cabinet meeting on April 30th.

As a former specialty officer, Waltz was seen as a moderate voice in the Trump administration when he was appointed, but reportedly said with other civil servants about his Hawkian attitude against Russia and Iran.

Mr. Trump has pushed that Ukraine has completed a quick ceasefire with Russia while reopening the negotiations with Iran on his nuclear program.

Chat group error

Mr. Steve Witkoff, a real estate magazine that Mr. Trump selected to have the US talks with Russia and Iran, is in the US media for the replacement of Mr. Waltz.

Mr. Waltz has been under pressure since the end of March when the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic Magazine revealed that he was incorrectly added to a chat about the commercial messaging app signal via military attacks on the Houthi rebels of the Jemens.

Chat officials determined the attack plan, including the times that the US fighting aircraft would take to bomb goals, the first texts barely half an hour before the start.

Despite intensive media speculation that Mr. Trump would fire Mr. Waltz over the scandal, the president repeatedly offered his support and the national security advisor seemed to have equipped the storm.

However, Mr. Waltz was part of a number of employees of the White House, who aimed at a right -wing influencer and conspiracy theorist who met Mr. Trump and urged a cleaning.

Ms. Laura Loomer, who is known for the fact that the attacks on September 11, 2001 were an insider job, is said to have successfully pushed the discharge of several high -ranking US security officers who thought she was.

After the news of Mr. Waltz and Mr. Wongs Sturz was reported on May 1st, Ms. Loomer posted on X: “Scalp”.

Defense Minister Pete Hegseth was also exposed to the scandal under pressure.

“1215et: F-18S Start (1st Strike Package),” wrote Mr. Hegseth in a text and referred to the F/A-18 US navy jets before adding that “Target Terrorist @ is his well-known place.

“1415: strike drones on the goal (this is when the first bombs are definitely falling until earlier” trigger “goals are pending).”

A short time later, Mr. Waltz sent real-time intelligence after an attack and wrote that the US armed forces had identified the goal of “going to his girlfriend's building and now collapsing it”.

In the dismissal of Mr. Waltz reported on May 1st, the Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer became X: “Now Dau Hegseth.” AFP
