The White House, with Politico's involvement, is considering making Waltz a scapegoat for mistakenly adding Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg to a classified chat about military strikes in Yemen. White House officials are monitoring the fallout, and some are suggesting Waltz should resign to spare the President embarrassment. The conversation's recklessness, particularly on the Signal app, has raised eyebrows among administration members, with some citing it as grounds for his removal. This incident reveals ongoing tensions and scrutiny around national security decisions under Trump's administration.
Mind you, the knives have been out for Waltz already, and the notion that he was in touch with a Neocon journalist like Goldberg would only help those already trying to oust Waltz make the case that he's not on Trump's America First agenda.
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.
