Trump biographer reveals what the White House leak really means | LBC

Donald Trump has stood by Mike Waltz following an unprecedented groupchat disaster that has sent shockwaves through Washington. The US president’s national security team - including vice-president JD Vance, defense secretary Peter Hegseth, Marco Rubio and the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard - used a group chat to discuss top secret plans for airstrikes on Yemen. Waltz started the chat on Signal, a commercial encrypted messaging app - accidentally adding a journalist who saw their secret plans. The jaw-dropping leak supposed that Waltz would be axed from Trump's top team, however, so far the President has stood by Waltz saying he's a "good man" and that he's "learned a lesson". Prior, he said he was not aware of the security breach when questioned by a reporter, saying he was “not a big fan” of The Atlantic, describing it as a failing business. One person close to the White House said: “Everyone in the White House can agree on one thing: Mike Waltz is a f---ing idiot.” Several officials within the administration believe that Mr Waltz should be dismissed for his “recklessness”, according to Politico. The decision will be made by Trump and will likely come within the next few days. Trump biographer, Michael Wolff, spoke to Andrew Marr and revealed what the leak exposed about the dynamics of the Trump Presidency.
