Republican senators break ranks to call for investigation of Signal leak scandal - eviltoast

Summary

Top Republican senators are calling for an investigation into the Signal leak scandal after senior Trump administration officials accidentally added a journalist to a chat discussing military strikes on Yemen.

National security adviser Mike Waltz took responsibility, but conflicting statements from Waltz and Trump have fueled confusion.

Republicans are urging probes by the Senate Armed Services and Intelligence Committees.

Tensions within the GOP are growing, with hawkish Republicans supporting Waltz and Trump loyalists opposing him. Legal challenges have also emerged over potential violations of the Federal Records Act.

    prior service here. it’s disgusting. it’s infuriating that the president fucked off to mar-a-fucko with nuclear secrets. it’s revolting that this current junta of incompetents seems to be hellbent on running the country off the cliff.

    there’s some pro trump people, but the vast majority just want their benefits and a better job than arby’s.
