Summary

Republican calls for an investigation into a leaked Signal chat involving senior Trump officials are growing, with Senators James Lankford and Roger Wicker urging a probe into the discussion of sensitive military plans with a journalist accidentally included.

The chat, led by National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, detailed a Yemen strike and has sparked bipartisan concern over security breaches.

Trump downplayed the incident as a “glitch” and refuses to fire anyone.

Critics, including Democrats and ex-intel officials, warn the mishandling could embolden U.S. adversaries and demand resignations.
