Waltz takes responsibility for Yemen chat leak, Trump downplays the impact

U.S. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz took responsibility for mistakenly adding journalist Jeffrey Goldberg to a secret group chat where top officials discussed upcoming strikes in Yemen. Waltz called it an error and said an investigation is underway. President Trump downplayed the breach, stating no classified information was disclosed and blaming a staffer for the mistake. Senators, however, expressed skepticism, with concerns that operational details were shared. Intelligence officials Tulsi Gabbard and John Ratcliffe defended the chat’s security but agreed to an audit. Democrats called for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s resignation over the incident.
