Trump downplays major scandal involving military plans

President Donald Trump recently reacted to a controversy involving his administration. The issue arose when a journalist was accidentally added to a private group chat discussing military plans. This situation has sparked criticism and jokes, notably from Elon Musk. On Monday, Musk mocked the publication The Atlantic, which discussed the incident, by saying it was a good place to hide information. Trump shared Musk’s post on his social media account. At a public event, Trump criticized The Atlantic, calling it a magazine that is struggling and claiming he knew little about it. In an interview, Trump defended his National Security Advisor, Michael Waltz, who was reportedly responsible for the journalist being added to the chat. Trump suggested a staffer made the mistake rather than Waltz himself. He claimed that the journalist's presence in the chat did not affect the military operation. Despite Trump’s remarks, some Democrats are calling for accountability. They are particularly concerned about information being leaked that might endanger U.S. military personnel. The White House Press Secretary denied that any sensitive information was shared. Reports indicate there is internal discussion about Waltz's future in the administration. Some officials believe he may not last long after this embarrassing mistake. The incident has stirred controversy and raised questions about the handling of sensitive information within the Trump administration.
