Trump Officials Face Intense Scrutiny Over Signal Chat Security Breach

Senate hearing probes inclusion of journalist in sensitive military discussions as officials deny sharing classified information.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe testified that no classified information was shared in the Signal group chat discussing Yemen airstrikes.
Democratic senators questioned the use of an unofficial app for sensitive discussions, calling for transparency and the release of the chat's contents.
National Security Advisor Mike Waltz was identified as the official who inadvertently added journalist Jeffrey Goldberg to the chat.
Senator Ron Wyden demanded the resignations of Waltz and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, citing the breach as a failure of accountability.
The National Security Council is reviewing the incident, while Democrats criticized the administration's handling of intelligence protocols.
