Waltz discusses not only Houthis, but also Ukraine in Signal - WSJ
In addition to discussing operations against the Houthis, US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz has created a chat room on the Signal messenger to discuss the peace agreement in Ukraine.
This is reported by The Wall Street Journal, Censor.NET informs.
Two US officials said that Waltz created many other national security conversations on Signal with members of the US government, including how to achieve peace between Russia and Ukraine, as well as military operations.
The sources declined to say whether these chats contained any classified information.
The sources also said that Trump retained Waltz's position because he did not want to give Democrats and the media a reason to criticize him.
According to the source, if the news of the chat had first appeared in a conservative media outlet, Waltz would have been fired.
The publication notes that the White House is conducting an internal campaign against Waltz. His ideological opponents want to remind Trump that Waltz has not always been with him: he opposed the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan and Syria, supported aid to Ukraine, and worked on national security legislation with Liz Cheney, who opposed Trump's attempts to cancel the 2020 elections.
Leak of confidential information from Signal chat
Earlier, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, accidentally joined a private chat on Signal where members of the US presidential administration discussed strikes on Yemen.
Trump also said that he was "unaware" of the report by The Atlantic journalist, who was accidentally added to a secret Signal chat where members of his administration discussed strikes on Yemen.
Subsequently, US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth denied that US military plans were discussed in the chat room and accused The Atlantic's editor-in-chief of "spreading fake news."
