Fox’s Jennifer Griffin Reports on Trump Team’s ‘Incredible Instability’ After Mike Waltz’s Shocking Ouster

“This is really stunning news coming out of the White House,” said Jennifer Griffin, Fox News’ chief national security correspondent, on Thursday.

Griffin, appearing on The Faulkner Focus, was commenting on the breaking news of National Security Advisor Mike Waltz’s ouster (first reported by Mark Halperin, and then CBS). In her report, Griffin focused on Waltz’s role in Signalgate — undoubtedly the most ignominious episode of his brief tenure.

“Shortly before the U.S. Launched its campaign, military campaign, against the Houthis in Yemen, Mike Waltz, as National Security Advisor, mistakenly added the Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg to a Signal chat in which his Defense Secretary, as well as other national security [officials], the head of the CIA and others — Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State — were on. A very sensitive talk on this insecure platform that’s not used for government conversations typically. That led to an embarrassing incident with Defense Secretary [Pete] Hegseth sharing what are largely believed to be classified details of that Houthi operation about the timings of airstrikes, the timers and what kind of military platforms were going to be used,” said Griffin.

Griffin went on to mention the recent firings of top Pentagon officials and talked about the overall instability among President Donald Trump’s national security team.

“And so what we have seen, we’ve seen a vacuum created here surrounding Defense Secretary Hegseth,” Griffin said. “He’s fired five close associates in the wake of that Signalgate, as well as because of leak investigations here at the Pentagon, some of those positions remain empty. And then National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, you’ll remember… Laura Loomer — who is a conservative activist — went in to see the president and had a list of people on the National Security Council that that the that Mike Waltz then had to turn around and fire. So there has been incredible instability at the top of the national security team for the president.”
