Senator James Lankford expressed support for an independent investigation regarding Trump cabinet officials using the Signal app to communicate sensitive information about military strikes in Yemen. This follows a report revealing that several officials, including VP JD Vance and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, were involved in a group chat discussing military actions against the Houthis. Lankford emphasized the necessity to investigate how a reporter accessed this communication and questioned the appropriateness of using commercial apps for classified discussions, amidst rising scrutiny and calls from Democrats for accountability.
It's entirely appropriate for the inspector general to be able to look at it and be able to ask two questions... how did a reporter get into this thread in the conversation?
Currently, it's through encrypted apps is how that communication happens... I do want to remind everybody, this is about the Houthis attacking the Americans.
