President Trump stood by his national security team after a leaked Signal group chat revealed sensitive military discussions. The president dismissed concerns about the security breach, calling journalist Jeffrey Goldberg a “total sleazebag” while praising National Security Advisor Mike Waltz as “a good man who learned his lesson.” This comes as the administration announced major progress in Ukraine ceasefire negotiations brokered through U.S.-led talks.
The Signal app mishap occurred when Goldberg was accidentally added to a chat called “Houthi PC Small Group.” Top officials like VP JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth discussed plans to strike Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen. Trump shrugged off the leak, telling reporters “nothing important was discussed” and vowing continued confidence in his team.
Meanwhile, the White House announced Russia and Ukraine agreed to critical Black Sea security measures under Trump’s mediation. Both sides will stop targeting energy infrastructure and commercial ships, with the U.S. helping restore Russian agricultural exports. Trump called it “decisive progress toward ending this nightmare conflict,” though Democrats complained he’s being manipulated by Putin.
Dems went into meltdown mode over the Signal leak, with Senate leaders calling it “reckless” and demanding investigations. But Trump officials shot back, noting no classified material was shared and emphasizing the successful Yemen strikes that “eliminated terrorists.” Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt blasted Goldberg as a clickbait artist pushing “fake narratives.”
