Описание: LIVE: Tulsi Gabbard Says Information in Yemen Chat Was Not Classified | Senators Grill Gabbard | CNBC TV18
Democratic Sen. Martin Heinrich and independent Sen. Angus King questioned intelligence officials on the content included in the Signal chat about a U.S. attack on Houthis in Yemen.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe repeatedly said during Tuesday's hearing that the chat did not contain classified information.
"So the attack sequencing and timing and weapons and targets, you don't consider should have been classified?" King asked Gabbard. "I defer to the secretary of defense the National Security Council on that question," she responded.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe, in the course of testifying before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, discussed what he believed the intention was behind the Signal group chat discussing a U.S. attack on Houthis in Yemen that was inadvertently shared with a journalist.
Ratcliffe said he believed the "national security adviser intended this to be as it should have been, a mechanism for coordinating between senior level officials, but not a substitute for using high side or classified communications for anything that would be classified."
