According to Foresight News, U.S. President Donald Trump stated in an interview with NBC News that he will not dismiss any individuals connected to the Signal group chat leak incident. Trump remarked, "I will not fire employees over fake news and political persecution. I don't know what Signal is, nor do I care what Signal is. This is just political persecution."
The Signal group leak incident, which occurred in March, involved a security controversy in the United States. Senior officials in the Trump administration reportedly inadvertently added Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, to a Signal group chat that included high-ranking government officials. Within the group, they discussed confidential military actions planned against Houthi militants in Yemen.
