Sources: Trump's National Security Advisor Mike Waltz is leaving his post
US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz is leaving his post, sources tell several American media outlets.
Deputy Advisor Alex Wong is also reportedly resigning. The information has not been officially confirmed.
Waltz has received heavy criticism after the chat scandal in March, when he accidentally invited The Atlantic's editor-in-chief to a Signal Chat where government leaders discussed an upcoming attack on Yemen.
President Trump has consistently expressed support for Waltz after the scandal, calling him "a good man" who "learned his lesson."
Frustration has bubbled up within the administration, however, and a source close to the White House called him "a fucking idiot," according to Politico.

Elon Musk: Doge has not been completely successful
Elon Musk says that the efficiency agency Doge will continue to cut public spending after the end date of July 2026. He says this in an interview with Axios, which according to the political site "has the feel of a farewell interview".
Ultimately, however, it is up to President Trump, he adds.
Musk, who has announced that he will reduce his work with Doge to devote himself to his companies, claims that the agency does not stand and fall with him.
- Doge is a lifestyle, like Buddhism. Buddha is no longer alive. You would not ask the question "who is going to lead Buddhism?"
Musk also admits that Doge has not been as effective as he had hoped, and that they have not met their goals in terms of spending cuts.
