Trump is angry about Waltz’s relationship with Atlantic

US President Donald Trump was upset when he realized that Mike Waltz’s national security adviser accidentally discussed a journalist in a group conversation discussing military attack programs. But that was not just because Waltz had potentially revealed the secrets of national security.

But until Tuesday afternoon, the two men were a play of smoothing, and the White House was supporting Waltz. Trump conducted brief interviews with NBC and Fox News and pledged to stand behind his national security adviser. Two senior Trump spokesmen said in X -ray posts that national security warriors colluded with the media to show the issue bigger than it was, and Waltz attended a Trump ambassador’s meeting on Tuesday afternoon.

“There are many journalists in the city who have made great names for themselves and lie … especially I have never seen this journalist, I don’t know, I never communicated with him, and we are examining how he enters this chat room,” Waltz said at the meeting.

Trump went on to call Waltz “very good man” and said he was unjustly attacked. However, the president also said that he would investigate the use of government officials.

However, several Trump allies have warned that this may not be the end of Waltz’s problems. One of them said the incident had strained Waltz’s relations with Trump’s close ring. According to three acquaintances with the president’s situation, he is particularly upset about the shameful nature of this episode.

This leakage of the information, though accidental, became more popular for Waltz because of Trump’s hatred of Atlantic. The president has long been hatred of the magazine because of an article by anonymous sources and reports that Trump had called Americans who died in the war, and Atlantic was one of the first prominent voices to call for Trump’s impeachment in his first term.

Trump’s third ally called this “seriously” but repeated the message of the government that “the method described in the media is exaggerated and historical.”

A senior White House official told Fox News that Waltz had never met or talked to Goldberg and that Goldberg’s number “was added to the call card by a Trump administration employee.” However, in an interview with Fox News on Tuesday night, Waltz said he was not responsible and he is “fully responsible” and he was “wrong”. But he insisted that Goldberg’s number was mistakenly added to someone else’s call. “I made the group,” Waltz said. “My job is to make sure everything is harmonious.”

Another acquaintance said that Trump spoke with Waltz several times on Monday about the Atlantic story.

This puts Waltz in an uncertain position with the “First America” ​​group and foreign allies who are very happy to dismiss him. “The president is much more trusting his team than his first presidency,” said one close to the White House. But he is still one who does not forget the mistakes easily, so just because today is not getting rid of Waltz or one of the others, it does not mean that one day a person’s rope will be finished. ” “If he begins to question someone’s judgment or instincts – or even worse, their loyalty – then it can become a situation that is only the subject of time.”
