Hello, and welcome to NewsHour LIVE from the BBC World Service in London.
I'm Rebecca Kesby.
Today,
the American magazine the Atlantic doubled down publishing the full text exchange between senior U.S. government officials on the commercial messaging app Signal relating to the US Airstrikes on the Houthi movement in Yemen last week.
A journalist, Jeffrey Goldberg, was inadvertently added to the chat,
making him privy to the strikes before, during, and after their launch.
The publication wrote today
that there was a clear public interest in publishing the details after the White House downplayed the significance yesterday and after the journalist,
Jeffrey Goldberg was personally criticized by the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth,
who called him a peddler of hoaxes and a deceitful and discredited journalist.
Well, yesterday,
it just so happened there was a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing at which senior Trump officials,
including those on the Signal chat, were grilled on the subject.
Today, the House Intelligence Committee got the chance to do the same.
And here's the Democrat Congressman Jason Crow,
lambasting National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard and Director of the CIA John Ratcliffe.
I spent my life in service to this country.
I deployed three times to combat in service to this nation.
I learned in that time in service that responsibility is core to leadership.
You accept responsibility when things go wrong.
