At a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing, Trump administration officials addressed concerns over the accidental inclusion of a journalist in a Signal group chat discussing U.S. military plans, leading to accusations from Democrats of compromising national security. President Trump defended his national security adviser, Mike Waltz, asserting that the information shared was not classified and expressing confidence in Waltz's abilities. Officials downplayed the incident, attributing it to a technological mishap and suggesting future caution in using such communication methods.
