PNN – White House spokeswoman Carolyn Leavitt said that US President Donald Trump continues to have confidence in his national security team after the release of new messages from the Signal Group about the details of the attack on Yemen.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, Trump administration spokeswoman Carolyn Leavitt told reporters at the White House: What I can say for sure is what I talked to the president about, and he continues to have confidence in his national security team.
Leavitt’s comment was in response to a reporter’s question about whether anyone would be fired over the scandal.
Pressed by CNN’s Caitlan Collins, Leavitt said: I answered you. The President has the same opinion about the national security team today as he did yesterday.
The White House spokesman also said that “technical experts” from Elon Musk’s team, head of the Office of Government Efficiency, are reviewing the group chat on the Signal messenger.
According to a White House spokesman, the National Security Council, the White House Counsel’s Office, and Elon Musk’s Government Efficiency Group are reviewing how to add Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg to the Signal Group, with senior US government officials in attendance.

A White House spokesman said: Elon Musk has offered to make his technical experts available to help us understand how this person was inadvertently added to the conversation.
Leavitt said the effort is to “take responsibility and make sure this never happens again.”
Jeffrey Goldberg, a veteran American journalist and editor of The Atlantic, announced that the National Security Council of the Donald Trump administration mistakenly added him to a confidential group chat on the Signal messenger, shared information with him about airstrikes on Houthi (Ansarullah) positions in Yemen, and learned about conversations between senior American officials about attacks on Yemen.
A day after the US government’s security scandal and the disclosure of details of its attack on Yemen on the Signal messenger, with the addition of the editor of the Atlantic magazine to the group, which included Trump administration security officials, the Senate Intelligence Committee questioned intelligence officials.
Officials in the group discussed the need for strikes on Yemen and the Trump administration’s justifications for them. “I’m amazed that no one in the group noticed my presence,” Goldberg wrote, following the conversation on the Signal app.
The Atlantic editor went on to say that he had voluntarily withheld some of the information in Hegsett’s lengthy letter, saying that its contents “could be used by enemies of the United States to harm American forces and intelligence personnel.”
President Donald Trump told NBC News on Tuesday that he still had confidence in his national security adviser, Mike Waltz. When asked if he was upset that the Atlantic story was getting attention, Trump said no, calling it “just a technical glitch in the last two months” and not a serious problem.
The United States has launched massive airstrikes against Houthi (Ansarullah) positions in Yemeni provinces since March 15.
