US Security Adviser Mike Waltz on Tuesday claimed “full responsibility" for the Yemen chat leak on the Signal app, which has triggered a political firestorm even as President Donald Trump downplayed the growing scandal.
Waltz said he mistakenly added a journalist to a group chat in which top American officials discussed impending strikes in Yemen. In his first interview on the security breach, he told Fox News host Laura Ingraham: “I take full responsibility. I built the group; my job is to make sure everything’s coordinated."
He, however, said he does not personally know Jeffrey Goldberg, the journalist who was added to the chat.
