Washington, D.C. — Veteran journalist Mark Halperin dropped a political bombshell Thursday on his YouTube show 2Way TV: National Security Adviser Mike Waltz is on his way out, along with his deputy, Alex Wong.
According to Halperin—citing three White House insiders—Trump’s team is preparing to replace Waltz “soon, maybe this weekend.” His likely replacement? Trump ally and real estate exec Steve Witkoff, who notably lacks any formal background in national security.
This comes after a scandal in March, when Waltz accidentally invited The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg into a private Signal chat where top Trump officials were reportedly discussing a strike on Houthi rebels in Yemen. That mistake raised serious questions about operational security and judgment inside Trump’s inner circle.

Why This Matters
The Trump camp’s move to replace Waltz with a real estate insider points to a broader strategy: loyalty first, qualifications second. This isn’t just about reshuffling players—it’s about consolidating power as Trump gears up for a potential 2024 comeback.
And here’s the deeper issue: If foreign policy is being shaped by group chats and inner-circle favoritism, where does accountability live?
