White House Rocked by Explosive Security Leak—Trump Refuses to Fire Advisor Amid Scandal

Washington, D.C.

The White House is in turmoil after a bombshell national security breach, with calls for top officials to resign after classified discussions allegedly leaked into a private Signal chat. Senator Ron Wyden, D-Ore., didn’t mince words as he demanded the immediate resignations of National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, citing “reckless and dangerous” mishandling of sensitive war plans.

The uproar follows Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s fiery Senate hearing testimony, where she insisted that “no classified material” was leaked—despite a stunning revelation that a journalist from The Atlantic somehow got access to the chat. The conversation, reportedly involving discussions on the U.S. military operation against the Houthis in Yemen, has sent shockwaves through Washington.

Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., went full-throttle, grilling Gabbard over the cryptic conversation. “If this was a rank-and-file intelligence officer, they’d be fired,” he fired back when Gabbard tried to downplay the scandal. With mounting pressure, the intelligence community is now scrambling to contain the damage, but the plot thickens as the FBI Director Kash Patel admitted he had only been briefed on the matter “late last night.”

Despite the swirling controversy, Trump is standing firm, telling Fox News he has no plans to fire Waltz. The loyalty among Trump’s inner circle remains unshaken, setting the stage for yet another high-stakes battle in Washington. As the dust settles, one thing is clear—this isn’t just another leak. It’s a political firestorm that could shake the core of U.S. national security.
