Intel chiefs again say they did not share classified info amid new questions on war chats

A House Intelligence Committee hearing examined an incident where a reporter was inadvertently added to a Signal chat among senior U.S. officials discussing imminent strikes on Yemen’s Houthi targets, prompting partisan disputes over whether classified information was shared. DNI Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe insisted no classified data was transmitted, while lawmakers cited CISA guidance on encrypted communications and an NSA advisory noting risks with Signal; calls for an inspector general investigation were made as the NSA director acknowledged there are risks to using the app.
