Summary
Republican calls for an investigation into a leaked Signal chat involving senior Trump officials are growing, with Senators James Lankford and Roger Wicker urging a probe into the discussion of sensitive military plans with a journalist accidentally included.
The chat, led by National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, detailed a Yemen strike and has sparked bipartisan concern over security breaches.
Trump downplayed the incident as a “glitch” and refuses to fire anyone.
Critics, including Democrats and ex-intel officials, warn the mishandling could embolden U.S. adversaries and demand resignations.
It’s called ‘testing the waters.’
Politicians hate taking action, especially when they aren’t sure of the outcome.
