Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard acknowledged on Wednesday before the House Intelligence Committee that it was a "mistake" for a journalist to be inadvertently included in a Signal chat with high-ranking national security officials discussing imminent U.S. strikes against the Houthis in Yemen. However, she maintained that no classified information was disclosed in the communications.
"The president and National Security Adviser Waltz held a press conference with a clear message," Gabbard said during the hearing. "It was a mistake that a reporter was inadvertently added to a Signal chat with high-level national security principals having a policy discussion about imminent strikes."
