Top Senate Democrats wrote a letter to President Donald Trump seeking more information about reports that his cabinet members used Signal to discuss «sensitive» plans.
Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and top Senate Democrats from national security committees wrote a letter to President Donald Trump seeking more information about reports that members of his cabinet used the Signal app to convene a group chat to «coordinate and share classified information about sensitive military planning operations» and mistakenly included The Atlantic Editor-in-Chief Jeff Goldberg.
«We write to you with extreme alarm about the astonishingly poor judgment shown by your Cabinet and national security advisors», the senators wrote, according to a copy of the letter obtained by ABC News. «You have long advocated for accountability and transparency in the government, particularly as it relates to the handling of classified information, national security, and the safety of American servicemembers. As such, it is imperative that you address this breach with the seriousness and diligence that it demands.»
Committees «have serious questions about this incident, and members need a full accounting to ensure it never happens again», the letter said. The authors requested a «complete and unredacted» transcript of the Signal chat for the appropriate committees to review in a secure setting.
