Vice President JD Vance insists there’s no scandal behind Mike Waltz’s sudden exit as National Security Adviser, despite growing buzz around a Signal group chat gone wrong.
Speaking to Fox News, Vance said Waltz has the “trust of both myself and President Trump” and framed his nomination as US Ambassador to the United Nations as a strategic move, not a demotion
Waltz’s exit comes nearly four months after he resigned from his Florida congressional seat to take the NSA role at the White House. The Army veteran faced growing scrutiny after he created a group chat on the encrypted messaging app Signal in late March, where top national security officials discussed pending attacks against the Houthis in Yemen.
Mike Waltz not ousted, it’s a ‘promotion’: JD Vance
