Top Trump Official Unable To Get Away From Scandal

Washington, D.C. — The Trump administration has officially declared the Signal chat leak scandal “closed,” following intense media coverage over a mistaken inclusion of a liberal journalist in a private military discussion. But behind the scenes, doubts remain—especially about National Security Adviser Mike Waltz.

The controversy centers on a group Signal chat used by top national security officials to coordinate a military strike on Houthi militants. In a critical error, The Atlantic’s left-leaning editor Jeffrey Goldberg was added to the secure thread. His inclusion has set off alarm bells among conservatives, raising serious questions about operational security and trust.

🔴 Top story: Trump’s inner circle is still fuming behind closed doors.

“The Case Is Closed,” But Trust Isn’t Rebuilt

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt issued a direct statement on Tuesday:

“The case is closed and the president continues to have confidence in his national security adviser.”

However, sources close to the Trump White House tell us the issue is far from resolved. President Trump has reportedly been “frustrated and disappointed” by Waltz’s judgment, especially given the sensitive nature of the military planning involved.

Security Lapse or Deeper Issue?

Conservatives are now asking tough questions:

• Why did Waltz have a liberal media figure like Jeffrey Goldberg in his phone contacts?
• Why were personal Gmail accounts reportedly used for government business?

A Washington Post bombshell revealed that Waltz and his aides may have conducted official communication outside secure government channels—something that would’ve sparked outrage under a Democrat administration.

⚠️ Security risk? The use of private email for classified planning raises red flags across Capitol Hill.

MAGA Base Rallies Around Hegseth

Interestingly, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who actually sent the strike timing messages, has escaped the same level of scrutiny. Why?

Because Hegseth is a trusted America First warrior. His MAGA credentials are beyond question, and his confirmation was backed by the full strength of the conservative movement.

🎯 “Touch Pete Hegseth and the movement will roar,” said Charlie Kirk on his top-rated podcast.

🔔 “Liberation Day”: Trump’s Bold Economic Strike

While the media obsesses over internal drama, President Trump is preparing a historic move to protect American jobs. On Wednesday, the White House will roll out a new round of punishing tariffs on nations that have taken advantage of U.S. trade policy for decades.

This “Liberation Day” economic blitz is expected to include a 20% blanket tariff on foreign goods entering U.S. markets—targeting unfair trade practices with speed and force.

🕓 Timing: The announcement is set for 4 p.m. EST in the Rose Garden—just after the markets close, avoiding same-day disruption.

Trump’s Economic A-Team on Display

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and trade experts Peter Navarro and Kevin Hassett will be on hand to reinforce Trump’s America First trade vision.

• Lutnick, a Wall Street veteran and loyal Trump ally, is leading the charge.
• Bessent has called the tariffs part of a “transitional reset.”
• Navarro and Hassett are crafting the public messaging strategy to explain why tariffs are the path forward.

📈 “It’s not about short-term price shifts—it’s about long-term American strength,” said Navarro on Newsmax.

The Stakes: Will It Work?

The mainstream media is already warning about rising prices, but President Trump isn’t backing down.

At Tuesday’s press briefing, Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked the question everyone’s thinking:

“What if this doesn’t work?”

Karoline Leavitt shut it down.

“They’re not going to be wrong. The president has a brilliant team of advisers who’ve studied these issues for decades. This will work.”

🧭 Final Word: Trump Leads, Media Distracts

While Democrats and their allies in the press continue to stir drama, President Trump is focused on action—protecting American lives abroad, restoring trade fairness at home, and defending the values of the America First movement.
