Tom Cotton recommends Intel Committee 'focus' away from group chat leak

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) implied there are more important topics to discuss at Tuesday’s Senate Intelligence Committee hearing than the recent group chat between senior Trump officials that accidentally included a lone journalist.

The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg was added to a group chat via the encrypted Signal app that included Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, national security adviser Mike Waltz, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. The chat included key details about the recent strikes in Yemen against the Houthis two hours before they occurred. Over 30 Houthi rebels were killed as a result of the strikes.
