Waltz has become the center of attention in recent weeks for a scandal related to the conversation of Trump’s administration representatives in a closed chat group In the commercial application Signal, where he also invited the editor -in -chief of The Atlantic Jeffrey Goldberg. It discussed the upcoming attacks on Yemen, which eventually occurred on 15 March.

Waltz took full responsibility to create a group to which Goldberg added. But Trump did not call him to resign, but on the contrary, he publicly expressed his support when he called him “a good person who learned”.
