Live updates: Washington faces war plans Signal chat fallout
Share this @internewscast.com

A day after The Atlantic revealed its editor-in-chief had been mistakenly included in a Signal group chat involving national security adviser Mike Waltz, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other Trump administration officials discussing plans for an attack in Yemen, the Senate Intelligence Committee will convene for a previously scheduled worldwide threats hearing.

Democrats are sure to hammer Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who was also in the group chat, on the implications of the planning outside secure channels.

Hegseth on Monday night blasted the magazine and said “nobody was texting war plans.”

President Trump has expressed confidence in his team, while 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.
