“A growing number of Donald Trump’s allies are calling on the president to fire his national security adviser, Michael Waltz, to try to mitigate the political fallout from revelations that the nation’s top defense officials discussed sensitive military operations in a commercial app — and inadvertently included a journalist in their chat group,” NBC News reports.
Said one former adviser: “They need to put this on someone and clean it up that way. The most obvious person to do that with is Waltz.”
Politico: Trump gave Waltz a vote of confidence. It wasn’t as smooth behind the scenes.
