(Bloomberg) — President Donald Trump’s national security advisor, Michael Waltz, and one of his top deputies are stepping down, according to a report on CBS News.
CBS said Waltz and his deputy, Alex Wong, will be leaving their posts. The report cited several people familiar with the matter. The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
Waltz had come under fire in the weeks since he acknowledged inadvertently adding Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg to a Signal chat group set up to discuss pending attacks on Houthi rebels in Yemen.
