Trump fired national security advisor Walts: probable reason named.
Fox News confirmed the firing of Trump's advisors from the NSC
The Fox News channel confirmed the firing of Trump administration national security advisor Mike Walts and his deputy Alex Wong from the National Security Council.
Earlier, Mike Walts found himself at the center of a scandal after journalists from The Atlantic published evidence of his participation in a group chat with senior national security officials. This chat discussed strikes against terrorists in Yemen. Walts acknowledged his responsibility for creating this group.
President Trump held a cabinet meeting where the decision to fire Walts and Wong was made. This was reported by the press service of the White House. Mike Walts himself was present at the meeting.
Also mentioned in the published messages is Alex Wong. Walts entrusted him with creating a special group to organize actions against the rebels in Yemen.
The firing of the advisors was a result of the leak of information about the group chat, in which 'military plans' regarding strikes against the Houthis in Yemen were discussed. The Trump administration claims that no classified information was transmitted in the chat and is closing this issue.
Thus, national security advisor Mike Walts and his deputy Alex Wong were fired from the National Security Council due to loud scandals related to participation in the group chat.
