Gabbard Acknowledges Error in National Security Chat Incident

During a recent House Intelligence Committee hearing, Tulsi Gabbard admitted it was a 'mistake' to include journalist Jeffrey Goldberg in a Signal group chat discussing military operations against Houthi rebels in Yemen. Gabbard asserted that no classified information was shared, although the chat revealed discussions of strike timelines and targets. This incident has prompted bipartisan calls for an investigation, with some lawmakers arguing that sensitive military information was mishandled. President Trump downplayed the situation, describing it as a minor 'glitch' and reiterating that the information exchanged was not classified. National Security Adviser Mike Waltz took responsibility for adding Goldberg to the chat, which has raised concerns regarding the security protocols in place. The controversy continues to draw attention, with lawmakers seeking clarity on how such lapses can occur within national security communications.
