Senators urge Trump officials' resignations over Signal chat controversy

Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) is demanding the resignations of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz following reports that they mistakenly included journalist Jeffrey Goldberg in a Signal group chat discussing sensitive military plans against Houthi rebels in Yemen. The chat allegedly contained detailed information about weapons, targets, and timing, raising concerns about the mishandling of classified information. Other Democratic senators, including Mark Warner and Angus King, echoed Wyden's calls for accountability, criticizing the officials for their 'sloppy' and 'incompetent' behavior. During a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing, national security leaders, including Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe, defended the chat, asserting that no classified information was discussed. However, skepticism remains among lawmakers about the claims of no classified content being shared. The National Security Council is currently reviewing the incident, which has sparked outrage and demands for an investigation.
