Trump Plans Major Shake-Up, Expected to Remove National Security Adviser Mike Waltz

President Donald Trump is expected to remove National Security Adviser Mike Waltz and his deputy Alex Wong following a major security breach, in which Waltz accidentally included The Atlantic's editor in a Signal group chat discussing imminent military action in Yemen. The leak, which exposed sensitive operational details, has embarrassed the administration and reportedly eroded Trump's confidence in Waltz, whose more traditional foreign policy approach was already seen as out of step with the president's inner circle. The departures represent the first major shake-up of Trump's new term and signal a push for greater loyalty and ideological alignment within the administration. Chief of Staff Susie Wiles is leading the search for replacements, with special envoy Steve Witkoff, a Trump ally and real estate developer, under consideration. The White House has not officially commented on the reports, but the episode has sparked criticism from Trump-aligned figures who accused Waltz of favoring establishment voices. The administration maintains that no classified information was shared in the breach.
