Mike Waltz, Security Advisor of United States President Donald Trump , claimed ‘complete responsibility’ for accidentally adding a senior journalist to a group chat in which top government officials reportedly discussed the country’s military actions in Yemen, according to the AP reports.
In his first interview on the security breach with Fox News Waltz said, “It’s embarrassing, yes. We’re going to get to the bottom of it”.
He further added, “We’ve got the best technical minds looking at how this happened.”
When asked if the staffer is accountable for adding the journalist to the group, Waltz said, “A staffer wasn’t responsible. I take full responsibility. I built the group. My job is to make sure everything is coordinated.”
Furthermore, answering to a question on how the journalist’s number ended up the group, the US security advisor said, “Have you ever had somebody’s contact that shows their name and then you have somebody else’s number there?
Security Advisor said, “Of course I didn’t see this loser in the group. It looked like someone else. Whether he did it deliberately or it happened in some other technical mean is something we’re trying to figure out.”
