Trump Intelligence Officials Deny Sharing Classified Info in Signal Chat

Recent testimony from U.S. intelligence officials regarding a Signal group chat about military airstrikes in Yemen has raised concerns about potential security breaches. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other officials have claimed that no classified information was shared in the chat, despite the inclusion of operational details and weapon systems, as revealed by The Atlantic. Lawmakers have questioned the validity of these claims, with Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi asserting that the disclosed messages constituted classified information and calling for Hegseth's resignation. During Senate hearings, both Tulsi Gabbard and John Ratcliffe defended the chat's legality, insisting that the discussions were permissible and did not include classified content. However, the controversy continues to spark debate over the handling of sensitive military information and the implications of including journalists in such discussions. As the investigation unfolds, calls for accountability among the officials involved have intensified.
