Trump advisor Mike Waltz takes 'full responsibility' for Signal chat leak

US National Security Adviser Mike Waltz said Tuesday that he takes "full responsibility" for the inclusion of a journalist in a private Signal chat group where senior Trump administration officials discussed a planned military strike in Yemen.

"I take full responsibility. I built the group," Waltz told Fox News. "It's embarrassing. We're going to get to the bottom of it."

The Signal group, called "Houthi PC small group," reportedly included high-ranking officials such as Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and CIA Director John Ratcliffe.

The Atlantic magazine's Editor-in-Chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, said in a bombshell report Monday that he had been mistakenly added to the "Houthi PC small group" chat on March 13 after receiving a connection request from an account bearing Waltz's name two days prior.

Waltz strongly criticized Goldberg, labeling him the "bottom scum of journalists" and denying any personal connection to him.
