The national security adviser of the White House, Mike Waltz, has set up group groups that go beyond a freewheeling -discussion about American military strikes at the Houthis in Yemen, according to a new report.
President Donald Trump agreed that Waltz was the first cause of the stunning infringement that unintentionally included a prominent journalist the security group chat that last week in the open thrust when Jeffrey Goldberg wrote about it.
But Waltz has retained his role because Trump wants to avoid the unrest of the staff that his first term characterized, where he forced the national security director Mike Flynn after 23 days at work.
Waltz did not save the internal political support of the highest level from Ridicule on Saturday Night Live, who did a sending of Signalgate that aimed at secretary of defense Pete Hegseeth accidentally in a teenage group treasure where he has inserted missionary subs.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Waltz also organized other group skats.
It described those chats as 'other sensitive national security interviews about signal', a coded Message app that, according to the administration, is approved for sensitive conversations, although top officials are supposed to use government equipment in very secure environments to discuss classified information.
These include 'individual threads about how you can get peace between Russia and Ukraine, as well as military operations

Waltz has said that he takes 'full responsibility' for setting up the Signal Group Chat.
The White House went on the earth on Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg last week while the scandal raged and even attacked his wife.
Trump has repeatedly pronounced trust in Waltz and the White House says that he is 'firm behind' his national security adviser.
An insider of the White House called Waltz, a green beret veteran of the US Army and the National Guard, an 'F *** ING idiot' after the group chat became public.
Witte Huis Pers Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Monday that the White House “regards” the case, although Republican and Democratic senators have asked the IG of the Pentagon to look at it.

The White House also said last week that the National Security Advisor investigated how the journalist was added to the group cat.
“Because the president made it very clear, Mike Waltz remains an important part of his national security team,” she said reporters. “And this case is closed here in the White House, in our opinion.”
“Steps have been taken to ensure that something so can never happen again,” she added. “And we're moving forward. And the president and Mike Waltz and his entire national security team have worked very well together, if you look at how much safer the United States of America are through the leadership of this team.
