Donald Trump ignored the advice of various of his closest advisers – including vice -president JD Vance – who suggested that he fired national security adviser Mike Waltz about the signal chat leak.
Waltz has had to deal with an intensive check for accidentally adding Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg to a group cat in which they discussed sensitive plans to attack Houthi goals in Yemen.
However, Trump has been behind Waltz – who took full responsibility – repeatedly during the Saga, although the president is reportedly furious with him.
Now it has been revealed that VANCE, as well as Staff Chef Susie Wiles and adviser Sergio Gor, told Trump that he had to give Waltz the bag, Politico reports.
While Trump was angry with Waltz for the slip-up, he refused to fire him because he did not want to give the press 'a scalp', an anonymous source said.
Trump does not want to be seen as saving the Democrats and the liberal media by sacrificing an important adviser.
However, the report also states that Waltz is not yet safe, one source that even suggests that he 'could be gone within a few weeks' if they find the right time as soon as the news cycle passes.
“President Trump remains the greatest confidence in his national security team, including national security adviser Mike Waltz,” said Witte House Minister of White House Karoline Leavitt in a statement.

Dailymail.com has contacted a Vice President Vance spokesperson for comment.
Waltz is currently at Vance on the journey of he and the second lady to Greenland, while Trump continues to push the idea to take over the territory.
Despite the report that suggested that he encouraged to get rid of Waltz, he was also challenging on Friday.
Vance said: “If you think you are going to force the president of the United States to fire someone that is what you will benefit from! I am the vice -president who says it here on Friday: we are behind our entire national security team. '
The Waltz spokesperson added that “the chattering of unnamed sources should be treated with the skepticism of gossip of people who miss integrity to attach their names.”
“Mike Waltz serves with the pleasure of President Trump and the president has expressed his support for Mike,” spokesperson Brian Hughes added.
“The entire leadership team of the National Security has led a successful and effective counter terrorism mission and that is what media and democrats are trying to hide.”
Waltz told Fox News' Laura Ingraham earlier this week that he 'built the group', but claimed that the 'error' might have been an act of escape by the journalist.

“I take full responsibility,” said Waltz during his tortured statement from the debacle on Tuesday evening.
“I don't text him,” said Waltz about Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic Ocean. “He wasn't on my phone and we're going to find out how this happened.”
The National Security Advisor was put under pressure how the journalist was included in the conversation about military strikes in the middle -east.
“We have the best technical spirits looking at how this happened,” he claimed.
Waltz then drove the idea that the journalist did something to make his way in the text chain.
“We're going to find out how this happened,” he repeated, and added that his team works to determine or the journalist 'Has it intentionally Whether it happened in another technical average is what we are trying to find out. '
The conflicting answers did little to shed light on a scandal around the messages among government leaders about planning an attack on Houthi hunters in Yemen, who contain details about weapons and strike coordinates.
Responding to the appearance of the National Security Advisor, an American officer finally hit Waltz as a leaker and a traitor for the administration.
Sergio Gor, another important Trump consultant, also suggested that he fired Waltz

“He never loved the president and he leaks,” they told DailyMail.com.
It was the first appearance of the National Security Advisor who tackled the scandal since the journalist who was added to the sensitive chat, Goldberg, published a story about added to the top secret group on Monday.
“Have you ever had someone's contact person who shows their name and then you have someone else's number?” Waltz asked Ingraham.
“What I can certainly tell you, did not read out at all or did not talk to him at all,” Waltz said later adding that he does not know the reporter, even though Goldberg said the couple met.
The national security boss said that he was so concerned about how the reporter came to the chat that he talked to Elon Musk, the self -proclaimed technical support of the president, about investigating the case.
Waltz Speek also Goldberg, ridiculous his earlier reporting and made countless accusations against him.
Trump's adviser made it look like it was Goldberg's fault for being added to the group cat with vice -president JD Vance, State Secretary Marco Rubio, Minister of Defense Pete Hegseeth and more.
Waltz told the Fox News -Gastheer that Goldberg the 'scum' of journalists and said he has a 'terrible reputation'.
Waltz struggled to send a clear message about who exactly was the blame for the test, the hesitation in saying that he was responsible and it was Goldberg's fault.
Almost all Republicans have tried to explain the scandal as a non-issue.
Waltz noticed how the operation was a success and the attack on the Houthis last week was 'an incredible attack'.
“They don't want to talk about the success here,” the National Security Advisor complained.
Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee Tom Cotton, R-ank., Even suggested earlier on the day that former President Joe Biden bears some debt for the Signal Chat fiasco.
“The Biden administration authorized Signal as a means of communication that was consistent with presidential register requirements for its administration -and that continued with the Trump administration,” Cotton said.
CIA director John Ratcliffe, who was in the group chat, noticed in the same way in a hearing of the Senate on Tuesday that Biden officials used signal.
He confirmed to the congress that he indeed had the controversial chat and that no classified information was shared during the chat.
