Many of Donald Trump’s allies are urging him to fire his national security adviser, Michael Waltz, following a controversy where sensitive military information was shared in a group chat that included a journalist. The information shared by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth discussed U.S. airstrikes against Yemeni Houthis but did not include specific targets. Trump initially claimed the information was not classified, but later backtracked, stating he was not sure. Some Republicans are calling for accountability, with views ranging from attacking the journalist to advocating for someone to be fired. Despite the issue, Trump has expressed support for Waltz and his team, stating that Waltz has taken responsibility and is a good man. Some supporters believe that acknowledging the mistake is the first step in addressing the issue. Democrats have raised concerns about the use of a commercial app to share sensitive military information and including a journalist in the conversation. While some believe that a resignation would be the appropriate response, others argue that Trump is unlikely to fire loyalists. The controversy has caused unease among Trump’s core supporters and raised questions about the administration’s handling of classified information.
