Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) acknowledged that the Trump administration's accidental inclusion of a journalist in a group chat discussing military strikes was a serious mistake but stopped short of supporting calls for an investigation.
Speaking to ABC News, Cruz stated that the episode "was obviously a mess, to add a reporter to this Signal chain. And I feel confident it's not something that will happen again." However, he dismissed Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's (D-NY) call for an inquiry, calling it a "political attack."
