In an explosive report on Monday from the Atlantic Ocean, Editor -in -Chief Jeffrey Goldberg detailed how unintentionally added to the conversation of a group of signals in which the upcoming Trump’s National Security leaders discussed Houthi rebels in Yemen.
The port report was a hot topic in the hearing of the Tuberculient Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday, when US intelligence officials were asked about what was discussed in the chat group chat, and whether it was classified.
When Democratic Senator Mark Warner of Virginia was asked, the vice president of the committee, Director of the CIA, John Ratcliffe, said he was part of the chat group chat that was reported by the Atlantic Ocean.
He also said that the Central Intelligence Agency routinely uses the encrypted application from the end of the end.
“One of the first things that occurred when it was confirmed because the CIA director was loaded on my computer at the CIA, as is the case with most CIA officers,” said Ratcliffe.
He said that the CIA’s registry management team briefed him on the permissible use to refer as a practice, he said it was also permitted under the Biden Administration.
“It may be used to communicate and coordinate for work purposes. Provided that any decisions are also taken through official channels. So those measures that were implemented were. Employees carried out these operations.”
He added: “My Etisali, to clarify, in the sign of the signal messages, was completely permitted and universal and did not include secret information.”
It appears that the director of National Intelligence Toulcy Gabbard is in chatting, according to Goldberg. Initially she refused to answer the questions on Tuesday about whether she was in it, but later included that she was when she said repeatedly and repeatedly that she could not “remember” a specific content that was discussed in the sign collection.

“Russian professional piracy groups employ” associated devices “features to spy on encrypted conversations,” says the memo. “Please note: The third -party correspondence applications (EG) through a policy of non -accounting/recall exercises but has not been approved to process or store non -colloquial classified information.”
Ratcliffe and Gabard said that the information discussed in the chat was not classified.
But Senator Warner and other Democrats have repeatedly argued that the sign chat most likely contains secret information.
Warner said: “This pattern of the amazing position on the classified information is reckless, dirty,” Warner said. “Don’t make mistakes, these measures make America less safe.”
