United States Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard asserted on Tuesday that no classified information was disclosed in the content allegedly leaked from a group chat involving senior US officials. Her remarks align with the White House’s official stance on the issue.

Gabbard made the statement while appearing before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI). When asked whether she was personally included in the Signal chat at the center of the controversy, she refused to confirm or deny her involvement and declined to provide additional details.

The situation stems from a recent leak of messages to The Atlantic, which allegedly contained details of US plans to conduct strikes against Houthi forces in Yemen. The publication reported that it had gained access to messages from a group chat involving US defense officials, raising concerns over operational security and the use of informal communication channels for sensitive military discussions.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, whose comments were included in the chat, has denied sharing any information about military plans. He criticized The Atlantic's reporting and called the publication's claims false. However, The Atlantic defended its report and labeled Hegseth’s denials as “a lie,” maintaining that specific attack details were indeed part of the leaked messages.

President Donald Trump also downplayed the significance of the leak, stating that the incident had no impact on military operations. His remarks appeared intended to ease concerns over the potential consequences of the breach.

The incident has sparked debate in Washington over communication security protocols and the boundaries of public transparency when it comes to national defense planning. While top officials continue to deny any mishandling of classified information, the controversy highlights ongoing tensions between government agencies and the media.
