The signal app, which became the center of a national security controversy with a high-ranking civil servant in the Trump administration, seems to have led to significant consequences for the US security consultant Mike Waltz. CNN quotes the people who deal with the matter and reports that President Trump Waltz will remove Waltz from his position in the coming days. The difficulties began when Waltz found that a group discussion about the app, which was discussed with highly sensitive military operations, in particular planned strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen. A serious security violation occurred when a journalist was accidentally included in this conversation.
The report states that Waltz's position was not justifiable after “incorrectly” included the publisher of the Atlantic in a Signal Group Chat in which highly sensitive military strikes were discussed. This incident led Trump to consider his dismissal, even though he didn't do it at first because he [Trump] I didn't want to give his enemies a perceived victory. “
However, Waltz 'position within the west wing has never completely recovered, and his influence, especially with chief of staff Susie Wiles, added the report. This would be the first big employee of Trump's second term.

How the signal app can lead to NSA Mike Waltz's discharge

The signal incident turned out to be a critical factor for Trump's decision.
“President Trump lost confidence in him some time ago,” said an administrative officer of the publication. Trump was reportedly not able to pass how Waltz added a journalist to chat.
According to reports, the incident also emphasized a double standard, as Defense Minister Pete Hegseth, who also shared confidential information about Signal, is not exposed to discharge. Trump believed that Hegseth should be retained after a difficult confirmation process, and he enjoys greater support from the Maga base.
In the meantime, Democrats criticized the Capitol Hill Trump's decision and argued that Hegseth's actions were more serious.
