The hearing was held on Wednesday in the US Senate for a chat leak of information related to the attack on Huti rebels. During this, Tulsi Gabbard, director of National Intelligence, said that no confidential information was shared in the group chat.
Trump’s ministers said that using a messaging app to discuss the military attack was not a wrong thing. Earlier, Trump said on Tuesday that this was the first mistake in 2 months from his administration.
Defense Minister Pete Hegseth shared the plan in a secret group chat on the signal app. Jeffrey Goldberg, the chief editor of The Atlantic magazine, was also involved in the group. Democratic MPs have demanded the resignation of Hegaseth by Democratic MPs. Democratic MPs in the Senate said that
This chat could have been intercepted enemy countries. Had Huti rebels got this chat, the security of American pilots could have been in danger.
Democratic MPs said that this chat leak is one of the biggest mistakes of the Trump administration.
