Donald Trump was left furiously after the national security adviser Mike Waltz admitted that he accidentally added a journalist to a signal group Chat about military strikes, according to sources close to the president.
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.
Waltz, who served as an administration officer for former President George W. Bush, then told Fox News 'Laura Ingraham, despite taking' full responsibility 'for the Lek, his team would find out how this happened'.
The president, who publicly praised Waltz after the Lek and him, called him a 'good man' who will continue to do a 'good job', was not nearly so generous behind closed doors, and even considering dismissing, insiders told Axios.
He even asked his assistants and allies: “Do I have to fire him?” As the Fallout continued, the New York Times reported.
This news is revealed after it has been revealed that Vice President JD Vance, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and adviser Sergio Gor told Trump that he had to fire Waltz about the incident.
Others close to the supreme commander said he decided to hold Waltz because he wanted to avoid a repeat of his turnover percentage of his high staff that took place during his first term, according to the New York Times.
Although his task is safe for now, a source of the White House told Axios: 'Mike is going to make it. Now it's up to Mike to make things better. '

This is not the first time that Waltz has to do with criticism from those in the inner circle of Trump, because Tucker Carlson, Steven Bannon and others have long been close to the president about his neoconservative views.
After the saga, Bannon said in a text that Waltz held his job because “we hate the globalistic media even more than we hate neocons,” said Axios.
He is considered too aggressive by a few advisers from Trump, who think he would like to ask to call military action against Iran, even though the president makes it clear that he would rather close a deal.
Although Trump was angry with Waltz for the crucial slip -up, he seemed to be more upset that a member of his team had a sort of connection with Goldberg – a journalist that the president does not like.
After the Lek, he called the editor -in -chief of the Atlantic Ocean a 'Total Sleazebag' while defending Waltz.
Goldberg unveiled on Monday in a story that a 'Michael Waltz' had added him to a group cat on the coded app signal, where top officials of the White House discussed plans for attacking the Houthis supported earlier this month.
On Tuesday, the White House went against the journalist during an event in the cabinet room – despite the fact that Goldberg left certain details from his story for national security reasons.
“But that is an app that many people use,” Trump said about signal. And someone went on. And I know by chance, the man is a total Smeasbag. The Atlantic Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean is a failed magazine. Does very, very bad, nobody gives nothing. This gives it a bit of a shot. '
Others close to the supreme commander said

He continued by claiming that the Atlantic Ocean 'made up more stories' and later said that Goldberg 'was actually bad for the country'.
“And it's just a failing magazine and the audience understands that,” said Trump.
Although it is safe for the time being, Waltz is not yet out of the forest, because a source suggested that he 'could be gone within a few weeks' if they find the right time as soon as the news cycle passes by, Politrico reported.
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,” said an anonymous told politico.
Waltz traveled with Vance and the second lady to Greenland on Friday, 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 cover up.
Waltz told Ingraham last 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 of 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.
Sergio Gor, another important Trump advisor, also suggested that Trump Waltz Brandt

Responding to the appearance of the National Security Advisor, an American officer finally hit Waltz as a leaker and a traitor for the administration.
“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.
