At a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing, Trump administration national-security officials, including DNI Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe, confronted tough questions about a Houthi text leak. The officials, involved in an unsecured Signal messaging chat that included a journalist, defended themselves, asserting no classified information was shared. Ratcliffe confirmed participation in the chat, discussing US military plans that were inadvertently disclosed. Gabbard avoided specifics due to an ongoing review by the National Security Council, highlighting the complexities surrounding communication protocols among national security officials.
Senator, I'm not going to get into the specifics because this is currently under review by the National Security [Council].
One of the first things that happened when I was confirmed as CIA director [is] Signal was loaded onto my computer at the CIA, as it is for most CIA officers.
