(NewsNation) — Trump’s national security adviser Mike Waltz and his deputy, Alex Wong, will no longer hold positions in the White House, according to several reports citing multiple sources familiar with the situation.
Calls for Waltz’s departure have continued since a journalist was mistakenly included in a group chat with top Trump officials on the messaging app Signal.
The chat, created by Waltz and led primarily by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, discussed plans for a strike on Houthi rebels in Yemen.

The messages detailed a timeline for the attack, including specific weapons that would be used to carry out the attacks.
Previously, Trump told the media, “Michael Waltz has learned a lesson, and he’s a good man.”
Trump has also stood by Hegseth, and there is no indication that his job is in danger.
