White House insiders seek Waltz ouster over Yemen leak
"U.S. National Security Adviser Michael Waltz — or another high-ranking official — may have been responsible for an inadvertent leak about US airstrikes in Yemen, insiders have told Politico.On Monday, The Atlantic journalist Jeffrey Goldberg broke a story detailing purported conversations among top members of President Donald Trump’s administration regarding military strategies against Houthi rebels.
The “Houthi PC small group” chat reportedly included Vice President J.D. Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, and other cabinet members.
“Everyone in the White House can agree on one thing: Mike Waltz is a f***ing idiot,” one anonymous source quoted by Politico stated.
“Half of them [are] saying he’s never going to survive or shouldn’t survive,” another official told the outlet. “It was reckless not to check who was on the thread. It was reckless to be having that conversation on Signal. You can’t have recklessness as the national security adviser.”
Other sources indicated the fallout would largely depend on Trump’s reaction to the incident and that repercussions were possible for Vance or Hegseth over their purported remarks in the group chat. Politico concluded that “nothing is decided yet.”
