WATCH: Gabbard says leaking of war plans to journalist is under investigation

Sen Jack Reed, D-R.I., gave an opening statement Tuesday in a hearing on worldwide threats, a day after the revelation that senior Trump administration officials discussed sensitive U.S. military attack plans in a Signal app group chat and inadvertently included a journalist. Reed asked Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard whether she was using her personal or professional phone for the Signal chat. Gabbard declined to comment, saying that the matter was being reviewed by the National Security Council. “Once that review is complete, I'm sure we'll share the results with the committee,” Gabbard said. The text chain, in which Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth discussed plans to strike Houthi rebels in Yemen, also included Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe, who testified in the hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee. They were joined by FBI Director Kash Patel, NSA Director Timothy Haugh and Defense Intelligence Agency Director Jeffrey Kruse. In the time since the group chat was reported, national security experts and lawmakers have expressed concern about the major lapse in security. When asked by reporters about the communications around the plans late Monday, Hegseth said “nobody was texting war plans.” Watch PBS News for daily, breaking and live news, plus special coverage.
