US National Security Adviser Mike Waltz is leaving his post with the Trump adminstration, according to media reports.
Waltz, who was the president’s principal adviser on national security issues, has had a difficult tenure amid accusations that senior officials used insecure methods of communication to conduct government business.
Last month, he took responsibility for a group chat on the Signal messaging app in which high-ranking officials planned military strikes in Yemen in the company of a journalist who was inadvertently added.
Waltz’s deputy Alex Nelson Wong has also reportedly been removed from his post in what appears to be a shakeup of the US’ security establishment.
