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.

    Uhg, this would be such a good opportunity for dems to use some repub strategy. File a motion for impeachment for every stupid gaffe like this. Too bad they’re so fucking useless.

      They are doing almost nothing at this point. They need to dominate the news cycle to get some message out to people instead of Trump/Musk shit.

      Absolutely agreed. It’s also the most constitutional argument you can make: this president refuses to follow the law, it’s endangering all of us, and the only option he leaves us - the only option available to reign in a lawless president - is his impeachment and removal.

    It was already swiped under the rug. Fox quickly ridiculed it by saying no secrets were shared and corporate media didn’t want to push to hard not to look biased. They waited couple of days and media focused on new scandals.

    Today’s scandal is Trump’s third term.
