Senior intelligence officials defended their actions to the Senate Intelligence Committee after a report revealed that a journalist was accidentally included in a Signal chat. Despite concerns about a significant security breach, CIA Director John Ratcliffe and others insisted that no classified information had been exchanged. The chat reportedly discussed sensitive military operations against Houthi militias in Yemen, including details on targets and weaponry, which prompted reactions about the potential for classified data exposure. The incident has drawn significant scrutiny from the media and the public.
Goldberg reported, without revealing their identity, that Central Intelligence Agency Director John Ratcliffe shared the name of an active CIA agent via Signal.
Despite the jaw-dropping development, which has made front pages globally, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard claimed that no classified information had been shared in the group chat.
