YouTube Description
as posted by the channelCIA Director John Ratcliffe said Tuesday that no classified information was included in texts about U.S. war plans that were sent to a journalist.
The National Security Council said it is looking into how a journalist’s number was added to the chain in the Signal group chat, which included information about U.S. plans to strike Yemen.
In addition to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Ratcliffe, it included Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s director of national intelligence.
Democrats have said the leaked military plans show a sloppy disregard for security, but Ratcliffe said no rules were violated.
“My communications to be clear in the signal message group were entirely permissible and lawful and did not include classified information,” Ratcliffe told lawmakers during a Senate hearing on global security threats.
During heated questions from Sen. Mark Warner, D-Virginia, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said there’s a difference between “inadvertent” releases of information and intentional leaks.
“There was no classified material that was shared,” Gabbard said.
