The Trump administration is scrambling to contain the fallout from a bombshell Atlantic article revealing its editor-in-chief had been mistakenly included in a Signal group chat involving national security adviser Mike Waltz, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, intelligence leadership and oth er Trump administration officials discussing plans for an attack in Yemen. Some Senate Intelligence Committee members grilled Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, along with CIA Director John Ratcliffe, both of whom were in the chat, about whether details shared over Signal were classified. At one point, being questioned by Sen. Angus King (I-Maine), Gabbard said she'd defer to Hegseth and the National Security Council on that answer. “You’re the head of the intelligence community. You’re supposed to know about classifications,” King replied. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt argued in a post on the social platform X that no “war plans” were discussed in the chat, echoing comments Monday night from Hegseth. She also asserted no classified material was sent in the thread. President Trump has expressed confidence in his team, and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said no discipline was needed for those involved. Meanwhile, Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) are set to meet to discuss how to get the two chambers on the same page on passing Trump's stalled legislative agenda. House and Senate Republicans have each passed their own versions of a budget blueprint, and disagreements over key issues remain. And Democrats in both chambers will meet for the first time since passage of a government funding bill earlier this month sharply divided the party. They are looking to get back in sync and project an air of unity. Follow along for more on these and other stories. ...read more read less
