The White House has finished its review involving national security adviser Mike Waltz, who was found to have included journalist Jeffrey Goldberg in a private group chat concerning Yemen airstrikes. Despite controversy and revelations suggesting Waltz had prior connections with Goldberg, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended Waltz, stating he plays a vital role in national security. She noted steps have been taken to prevent such incidents in the future. This issue, previously dominating news headlines, is now being overshadowed by upcoming tariffs on foreign imports announced by President Trump.
As the president has made it very clear, Mike Waltz continues to be an important part of his national security team. And this case has been closed here at the White House, as far as we are concerned.
There have been steps made to make sure that something like that can obviously never happen again and we are moving forward.
The president and Mike Waltz and his entire national security team have been working together very well if you look at how much safer the United States of America is because of the leadership of this team.
The controversy, which dominated political news last week, already is being overshadowed by a raft of tariffs due to take effect on Wednesday.
