Mike Waltz takes ‘full responsibility’ for leaked Trump administration Signal chat about Yemen strike

National security advisor Mike Waltz said he accepted “full responsibility” for a high-level Trump administration planning chat about strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen being accidentally shared with a journalist from The Atlantic.

“I take full responsibility. I built the group,” Waltz told Fox News’s Ingraham Angle on Tuesday. “It’s embarrassing. We’re going to get to the bottom of it.”

The administration had dismissed Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, who officials say was inadvertently added to a private message group among senior defense leaders, as a reporter who peddled in “hoaxes” hours earlier.
