Mike Wals assumes “full responsibility” for leaking group signals

US National Security Advisor Mike Wals has claimed responsibility for group chat, in which high -ranking officials planned military strikes in Yemen in a journalist who was unintentionally added.

“I take full responsibility. I created the group,” Fox News said on Tuesday, adding it “awkward”.

President Donald Trump and US intelligence chiefs lowered security risks and said that no classified material was being shared.

Waltz could not explain in his interview Fox News as Goldberg came to Chat, but – contradicted Trump – he said that his employee’s member was not responsible, and another unnamed contact had to be there at the Goldberg site.

“We have the best technical minds looking at how it happened,” Waltz continued, adding that Goldberg’s number was not on his phone.

“I can tell you 100%, I don’t know this guy,” Wals said, adding that I talked to Elon Musk for helping to find out what happened.

President Trump has left the incident, calling him a “gluck”, which “does not affect” quickly.

Speaking before Newsmax, Trump said someone who worked with Mike Waltz at the lower level had Goldberg’s phone number.

US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe denied hearing on the Senate on Tuesday that any classified information was distributed in the message chain.

The Chat Signal Group also included the credentials appointed by Vice President of JD Vance and Defense Minister Pete Hegseta.

“Let it be a few weeks now, it should be the US that restore these road stripes,” the account with Waltz wrote on March 14.

At one point, the Vance account in the topic of the Vance’s account to the fact that the strikes will benefit Europeans, from their dependence on these road strips, adding: “I just hate to help Europe again.”

The user determined how hegseth replied in three minutes: “VP: I completely share your hate European free download. This is pathetic.”

The revelation sent shock waves through Washington, which raised the lawsuit and the questions about why high -ranking officials discussed such tangible issues on a potentially vulnerable civil application.

Some national security experts claim that the leak was the main operational interval, and the archives experts warned that they violate the presidential record laws.

The American control, the non -partisan Group group, sued the officials who participated in the chat for alleged violations of the Law on Federal Records and Administrative Procedures.

The group stated that, having installed the chat automatically deleting the messages, the group violated the law that requires the White House officials to submit their records to the National Archives.
