A last signal chat with Vance fired from 'idiot' from Waltz

The released national security advisor Mike Waltz cannot help but go through his signal chats.

Waltz, whose downfall was triggered by Signalgate in March, was photographed again on Wednesday as a member of President Donald Trump's cabinet on the messaging application.

The 51 -year -old Waltz didn't bother to keep his screen hidden.

An enlarged look at Waltz's phone shows that he wrote Vice President JD Vance and had a voice call with the director of National Intelligence Tulsi. In other signal chats, the last names of the Foreign Minister Marco Rubio and the special representative Steve Witkoff can be seen.

“I have confirmation from my counterpart, it is eliminated,” says the message with Vance. “He will be here in …”

It is unclear whether Waltz or Vance sent the message. The Rubio and Witkoff text chains cannot be read at all.

The exposed telephone screen embodies Waltz's 101-day stay, which leads the National Security Council-the second fate in the history of the White House, which only left Trump's first national security secretary Michael Flynn, who only lasted three weeks.

Everything was downhill for Waltz after it was incorrectly added The AtlanticJeffrey Goldberg for a Signal Group chat in March, in which a US military strike in Yemen discussed.

The gaffe was very embarrassing for the Trump administration. It not only showed that top officials used a commercial application that was known that she was susceptible to hacking to discuss an attack plan, but also that Vance, a loyal Maga soldier, publicly questioned the decision-making of Trump behind closed doors.

Trump was behind Waltz after signal gate and may hesitate that his administration suffered from the same type of intensive sales that his first plagued.

Politico reported on Thursday that Trump was looking for a waltz replacement weeks ago, but immediately after the signal fiasco. Rubio was appointed his temporary replacement, but a long -term national security advisor still has to be announced by the White House. Witkoff became the likely favorite in reports.

Waltz, who left his job as a Republican congress member from a deep red district in Florida for the Trump government, was announced on Thursday as Trump's ambassador at the United Nations.
