NPR's Ailsa Chang speaks to Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia about questioning top Intelligence officials today on Capitol Hill about war plans being leaked in a group chat with a journalist.
Senator Mark Warner criticized the leak of military strike information, specifically details of a plan to bomb Yemen shared in a Signal group chat with a journalist, calling the incident "mind-boggling." He emphasized the risks of using unclassified channels like Signal, especially given evidence of attempts by Russia and China to breach such systems. Warner highlighted the potential danger if adversaries obtained this pre-strike information and noted the sensitivity of details like the CIA officer's name and target information.
