As Waltz Faces UN Post Hearings, an Update on the Signal Situation that Led to His Initial Ousting

On Tuesday, Sen. Cory Booker rebuked Mike Waltz at the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, calling his actions 'profound cowardice.'
In mid-March, the group leaked details of a military strike on Yemen, with Pete Hegseth sharing timing and targets hours before the attack, implying security lapses.
Separately, two Pentagon investigations are ongoing into whether classified data was shared, following Dan Caldwell's administrative leave and a March 21 polygraph memo, as the Pentagon probes continue.
Despite the scandal, President Trump nominated Mike Waltz as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, and he insists he wasn’t fired, impacting his career trajectory.
Questions persist over whether federal laws were violated in the leak, as the Department of Defense memo banned discussing non-public DoD information, and CISA guidance in December 2024 recommended Signal only for 'highly targeted individuals,' raising broader legal and policy concerns.
