Donald Trump ignored the advice of several of his closest advisors - including Vice President JD Vance - who suggested he fire National Security Advisor Mike Waltz over the Signal chat leak. Waltz has faced intense scrutiny for accidentally adding Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg to a group chat in which they were discussing sensitive plans to attack Houthi targets in Yemen. However, Trump has stood behind Waltz - who took full responsibility - repeatedly during the saga, though the president has been rumored to be furious with him.
