Sensitive Signal: Senate Calls for Probe into Trump's Secret Chat

Senator Roger Wicker, a key U.S. Senate Republican, has called for an investigation into Trump administration officials discussing sensitive attack plans via a commercial messaging app. Concerns arose about potential risks to U.S. troops if this information leaked. Lawmakers are pushing for an expedited Inspector General report on the incident.

In a compelling move, Senator Roger Wicker of Mississippi has urged an official investigation into the Trump administration's use of a commercial messaging app to discuss sensitive military plans.

The conversation, disclosed this week, allegedly involved high-profile officials including Vice President JD Vance and CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and touched upon the planned killing of a Houthi militant.

The incident has drawn bipartisan concern over potential threats to national security, leading to calls for an expedited Inspector General report and a Justice Department probe into the accidental inclusion of a journalist in the chat group.
