- Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene dismissed Sky News journalist Martha Kelner's questions about the Signal group chat leak, telling her to 'go back to your country.'
- The Signal group chat, involving Trump administration officials, inadvertently included The Atlantic's editor-in-chief and revealed details about U.S. military plans in Yemen.
- Greene deflected questions about operational security concerns by criticizing the Biden administration's border policies and accusing it of endangering national security.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has denied that the leaked messages contained classified information, though retired military officials warn of potential risks to U.S. personnel.
- The National Security Council confirmed the authenticity of the leaked messages and is reviewing how the journalist was mistakenly added to the chat.
