Legislators are calling for investigation into the group chat on the war plans in the Trump administration

Washington A number of legislators expressed their anger on Monday after the Atlantic editor reported that it was It was accidentally included in a group chat The involvement of the Trump administration’s senior officials about sensitive war plans in the United States in Yemen.

Members of Congress on both sides of the corridor criticized the security violation, although the Democrats have taken a more harsh position on how to address this, with many immediate investigation.

Senator Jacques Reid from Rod Island, the oldest Democrat at the Armed Services Committee, said the breach represents “one of the most terrible failures of operational security and the common sense” he watched at all.

“Military operations must be dealt with with a maximum estimation power, using accredited and safe lines, because the American spirits are at stake. The neglect that the Council of Ministers showed to President Trump is amazing and dangerous. I will search for answers from the administration immediately.”

“It is definitely a source of concern, and it seems that the mistakes have been made,” said Senator Roger Weiki of Mississippi, the Republican President of the Armed Services Committee.

“It is possible that there will be ranked surroundings on this soon,” Wicker said, adding that his committee will be seen at all.

in piece Jeffrey Goldberg, published by Jeffrey Goldburg, the Atlantic Editor -in -Chief, has been published in an unintentionally added to a group chat that included National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Defense Secretary Beit Higseth, Vice President JD Vance and others in the sign of the encrypted correspondence earlier this month. In the chat, Higseth detailed plans to bomb the Houthi targets in Yemen shortly before the strikes, and owned senior officials, according to Goldberg.

The Atlantic Ocean said that he had not published all the messages because some details were very sensitive.

The National Security Council admitted in a statement to CBS News that the Goldberg chat group that I mentioned “seems to be authentic.”

“At this time, it appears that the authentic messaging interconnection index, and we are reviewing how an unintended number has been added to the series,” said a spokesman for the National Security Council. “The thread is evidence of deep and thoughtful political coordination among senior officials. The continuous success of the Houthi process indicates that there are no threats to our members or our national security.”

“Nobody was sending plans for war,” said Higseth Monday evening, and Goldberg has criticized a “deceitful journalist and designer of the so -called” journalist who wanders. “

When asked about the report, President Trump said: “I don’t know anything about it. I am not a great admirer of the Atlantic Ocean. It is an integral work. It is not a big magazine.” “President Trump still has the utmost confidence in the national security team, including National Security Adviser Mike Walz,” White House journalist Caroline Levitte said in a statement.

“This catastrophe requires a complete investigation of how this happens, the damage it caused, and how we can avoid it in the future,” said Senate Queen Chuck Schumer, a democratic in New York, at the Senate Hall.

He added: “When Higseth’s house came to the Senate as a candidate, the Democrats warned that such something might happen. It is clear that these people are not on the job. We have warned against confirming that they were dangerous, and that they would act recklessly. Unfortunately, we were right.”

Democratic Senator Jackie Rosen from Nevada, who works for the Armed Services Committee and the Foreign Relations Committee, criticized the accident as a “dangerous level of efficiency” and “unforgivable failure”. Senator Chris Konz, a democratic of Delaware, described it as a “shocking breach” and urged a “rapid and comprehensive” investigation.

The minority leader in the House of Representatives, Hakim Jeffrez, told CBS News that there should be an “investigation” at all “so that we can understand what happened, and why this happened, and how we prevent this type of violation of national security from occurring again.”

“This is reckless, irresponsible and dangerous,” Democrat said in New York. “Who are some of these people who Donald Trump put in the most sensitive national security positions in America? We have promised that Donald Trump will employ the best. Everything is false.”

Adam Smith, a member of the House of Representatives Armed Services Committee, described the incident as “very worrying.” He said, “You are discussing war plans on the application of the sign. I mean, this is unimaginable,” he said.

Jim Hems, a member of the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee, has caused concern that phones can be vulnerable to piracy. “Let’s assume that the people in the sign conversation may have been the most important goals of some of our global enemies. With the grace of God, one of these Houthi enemies has not alerted in advance so that they could reinstall their anti -aircraft assets, and they did so, so we will look at the dead pilots at the present time. This is the seriousness of what the administration is.”

Representative Betty Mcalum, a democratic of Minnesota, raised the issue of whether the officials are violating the law of espionage.

Republican representatives without Bacon from Nebraska and Mike Lawler criticized the use of an encrypted messaging application to discuss war plans.

“This can kill our forces. Safe phones are mandatory for these types of communications. Russia and China are definitely watching their phones that are not classified in the hope that they will share information like this,” said Bacon.

“The information classified on the unprecedented channels should not be transmitted – and certainly not for those who do not have security permits, including correspondents. books. “The guarantees must be placed in place to ensure that this does not happen again.”

However, Parliament Speaker Mike Johnson presented a defense of behavior and said that reports showed that “the highest level officials are doing their work, doing it well and implementing a plan accurately.”

“This task was successful,” Louisiana Republican told reporters.

Johnson added that he did not believe that Waltz, who apparently started the group chat and included the journalist, according to Goldberg’s report, was disciplined.
