President Donald Trump confirmed that multiple employees within the National Security Council were fired Thursday, adding to National Security Advisor Mike Waltz's recent political woes that have snowballed since Democrats first slammed him over March's Signal chat leak.

Mike Waltz has been in the spotlight since he created a group chat on the messaging app Signal to discuss sensitive information about a US strike on Houthi rebels in Yemen, and accidentally invited a journalist to join it.
