Trump Defends Waltz After Signal Text Leak

Former President Donald Trump has publicly defended National Security Advisor Michael Waltz following the leak of a private Signal text chain. The leak has raised concerns about communication security within the White House. Trump, in a statement, said that Waltz is "doing his best" and implied that the incident should not be held against him.

The leaked messages reportedly contained discussions related to national security matters, although the specific content remains largely undisclosed. The incident has sparked debate about the appropriateness of using encrypted messaging apps for official government business and the security protocols in place to prevent such leaks.

Critics have called for a thorough investigation into the leak and a review of communication policies within the National Security Council. The White House has not yet issued an official statement beyond Trump's initial remarks. The situation continues to develop as more details emerge about the nature and extent of the leaked information.
