  • The Atlantic released the full transcript of a Signal group chat where Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed operational plans for airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen.
  • The Trump administration denies that classified information was shared, with officials calling the content 'attack plans' rather than 'war plans.'
  • National Security Adviser Mike Waltz admitted responsibility for adding journalist Jeffrey Goldberg to the chat and described the inclusion as a mistake.
  • Congressional hearings have intensified, with lawmakers from both parties criticizing the use of a public messaging app for sensitive discussions and calling for accountability.
