Shumita Basu

Your secretary of state says everyone who's here, citizens and non-citizens, deserve due process.

Good morning. It's Friday, May 2nd. I'm Shamita Basu. This is Apple News Today. On today's show, how Democrats are speaking to voters 100 days into Trump's presidency. A rare show of congressional unity and names to know on World Press Freedom Day. But first, to Washington, where President Trump made his first big staffing shakeup of his second term.

He removed one of his top advisers, Mike Waltz, the now former national security adviser, and says he plans to nominate Waltz to be U.S. ambassador to the U.N. instead. Remember, Waltz added a journalist to a signal chat in March where high-level officials, including the vice president, discussed military strikes in Yemen.

Signal is not an approved, secure platform for sharing classified government information. And Waltz took responsibility for adding Jeffrey Goldberg, the top editor of The Atlantic, who published a story revealing what happened. But Waltz confused many, including Fox News' Laura Engram, with his explanation of how it happened.

Trump's decision to reassign Waltz and fire his deputy, Alex Wong, comes after he has defended both Waltz and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who was also in the chat. Trump told NBC News he would not fire people over, quote, witch hunts. On other occasions, he's blamed the technology.

Republicans in the House, meanwhile, have blocked an attempt to launch a congressional probe into the matter. An internal investigation in the executive branch is ongoing. Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer told reporters he thinks Trump is focusing on the wrong person, saying they should be firing Hegseth.

That's because reporters at The New York Times learned on the very same day Waltz created the signal chat with Goldberg, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth created a second chat. He invited his wife, brother and lawyer, and he reportedly shared the Yemen attack plans in detail. Hegseth has since attacked the media, blamed disgruntled former employees and described The Times reporting as a hit piece.

To be confirmed as U.S. ambassador to the U.N., Waltz would need to go through the Senate confirmation process. Republicans have the majority, but Democrats will likely press him hard on the Signal incident. While Trump looks for his replacement as national security advisor, Secretary of State Marco Rubio will fill in the role temporarily.
