NBC reported on Trump's disappointment with Waltz over the data leak scandal

US President Donald Trump expresses dissatisfaction with his national security adviser Mike Waltz after the incident with the leak of data on American strikes in Yemen. This was reported on March 28 by NBC News, citing sources in the Republican Party.

In addition, the president also fears that his decision to appoint a congressman as a security adviser may eventually weaken the political positions of Republicans.

"Trump is unhappy that the [election] race to replace Waltz in Congress is looming more competitive <...> than it should be for Republicans — and the special elections in Florida will take place only because Trump chose Waltz to serve in his administration," the article says.

The scandalous publication of the Atlantic magazine discussing attacks on the Yemeni Houthis by the US administration became known on March 25. Jeffrey Goldberg, the magazine's editor-in-chief, said that on March 11, he received a request to connect to Signal from a user under the nickname "Mike Waltz." Two days later, Goldberg received a notification about adding the "Houthis small group" to the group chat. Then, on March 15, a user named Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth posted a message that contained details of upcoming strikes against the Houthis.

On March 25, Trump said he was not upset by the scandal over the leak of data on strikes in Yemen and considered the incident an "insignificant glitch." Later, he also announced that he was not going to fire Hegseth because of the incident, and noted that Waltz had assumed responsibility for the incident.
