It's 'Case Closed' says White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Signal app 'leak'

The Trump administration has stated that it is putting the Signal messaging app ‘leak’ behind it, declaring the matter resolved despite bipartisan criticism and internal White House tensions, according to a report. This announcement comes just days after reports emerged that National Security Advisor (NSA) Mike Waltz faced backlash for ‘mistakenly’ adding The Atlantic’s editor to a private chat discussing an imminent bombing campaign in Yemen with other high-ranking US officials.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that the administration continues to have confidence in Waltz, assuring that measures have been implemented to prevent a similar breach, according to news agency Reuters.
“As the president has made it very clear, Mike Waltz continues to be an important part of his national security team and this case has been closed here at the White House as far as we are concerned,” Leavitt said.
“There have been steps made to ensure that something like that can obviously never happen again, and we're moving forward,” she added.

The bombing campaign, which targeted Houthi terrorists attacking commercial vessels in support of Palestinians in Gaza, took place in mid-March but became public on March 24 when Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg disclosed it.
Goldberg had been added to the Signal chat alongside senior officials, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Vice President JD Vance, and CIA Director John Ratcliffe.
Citing a source familiar with the matter, the report said that Waltz’s handling of the situation frustrated some senior Trump officials, but for now, he appears to have weathered the fallout. Another source, a Trump ally, noted that the president had privately expressed anger over Waltz’s actions.
