Trump adviser Mike Waltz takes ‘full responsibility’ for Signal group chat leak
US National Security Adviser Mike Waltz has taken responsibility for a group chat in which high-ranking officials planned military strikes in Yemen in the company of a journalist who was inadvertently added.
“I take full responsibility. I built the group,” Waltz told Fox News on Tuesday, adding it was “embarrassing”.
President Donald Trump and US intelligence chiefs have downplayed the security risks and said no classified material was shared.
But Democrats and some Republicans have called for an investigation into what several lawmakers have described as a major breach.
