In a dramatic White House shake-up, President Donald Trump fired National Security Adviser Mike Waltz following the explosive ‘Signalgate’ scandal. Waltz’s deputy, Alex Wong, also got the boot in what insiders are calling the most chaotic security breach of Trump’s second term.
What Sparked the Mike Waltz Exit?
Waltz made a critical blunder in March 2025. He accidentally added journalist Jeffrey Goldberg to a Signal chat meant for senior security officials. The chat discussed upcoming U.S. military strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen. Goldberg published details from the conversation, exposing classified information and triggering political mayhem.
An internal review later cleared Waltz of intentionally leaking secrets, but the damage was done. His blunder embarrassed the administration and raised doubts about his judgment.
Clashed with MAGA Power Players
Waltz’s aggressive foreign policy views clashed with Trump’s “America First” approach. Tensions boiled over between him and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. Right-wing influencers like Steve Bannon and Laura Loomer pushed for his removal. Loomer even convinced Trump to fire several of Waltz’s staff members, leaving him politically isolated.
Trump Makes It Official: Mike Waltz Is Out
The final blow came when Waltz tried to attend a cabinet meeting—only to be denied entry. Trump’s team then escorted both Waltz and Wong off the premises. Sources close to the matter say Trump had “lost all confidence” in Waltz’s ability to manage national security.
Who Could Replace Mike Waltz?
In an unbelievable moment, State Dept spokesperson Tammy Bruce learns, from a reporter, that Trump announced on social media that Mike Waltz is the new UN Ambassador and Marco Rubio is interim Nat’l Security adviser.
