#AmateurHour LIVE - US intelligence chiefs grilled over secret air strike chat as #Trump defends #Waltz

"Independent [#Maine] Senator #AngusKing says he's 'puzzled' that [#TulsiGabbard] says there was no classified information in the #Signal group chat.

"He says that according to reports, on the morning of 15 March, Secretary #Hegseth put into the chat a 'detailed operation plan including targets, weapons, attack sequencing and timings'.

"'Wouldn't that be classified?' King asks the director of national intelligence.

"She reiterates that there was no classified information in that chat, and when pushed again by King, says she refers the question to the secretary of defence and the national security council.

"'Well you're the head of the intelligence community, and you're supposed to know about classifications,' King replies."
