Trump breaks silence after US war plans are leaked

Published on March 25, 2025 at 03:26 PM

US President Donald Trump has come out to defend his National Security Adviser, Mike Waltz, following the Signal app scandal.

Trump has called Waltz a “good man” who “learned a lesson.”

His support comes amid calls for the NSA to step down, with one White House official calling him a ‘f***ing idiot.'

Waltz had added the Atlantic magazine's editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, in a text chain to discuss the plans to bomb the Houthis in Yemen.

Trump, however, told NBC News: “Michael Waltz has learned a lesson, and he's a good man.”

The American president also blamed staff for the mixup.

When asked what he knew how Goldberg was added to the Signal chat, Trump said, “It was one of Michael's people on the phone. A staffer had his number on there.”

In the Signal app group, entitled ‘Houthi PC small group,' Goldberg was privy to conversations between Waltz, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Vice President JD Vance and other top administration officials.
