Susan Glasser of The New Yorker criticized White House officials for their explanations at a congressional hearing about a journalist's accidental inclusion in a defense chat discussing war plans. Despite the White House's denial of classified content, Glasser argued that discussions about war planning inherently contain sensitive information. She pointed out the risks associated with using the Signal app, referencing prior Pentagon warnings about its vulnerabilities. Glasser's comments highlighted broader concerns about national security and the issue of accountability within the current administration.
This is the thing about, you know, the political techniques of Donald Trump and his supporters over time versus our own reality, our own eyes.
If it was intelligence we obtained on another power... you would consider this highly sensitive information, number one.
The controversy only looks worse for Trump in light of reports that Steve Witkoff, the speaker of the House, had too been involved.
The Pentagon had warned about the use of Signal and its potential vulnerability to foreign penetration right before this conversation occurred.
