GOP congressman says Signal leak was 'obviously' a mistake, defers to president to determine consequences
Fox News
GOP Congressman Marlin Stutzman says he trusts Trump to determine the appropriate consequences for those involved in the Signal chat leak, and remains confident in the admin's national security team.
Stutzman's comments came amid a reported attempt by Democratic Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar to introduce articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, national security advisor Michael Waltz and CIA Director John Ratcliffe, each of whom were involved in the Signal chat leak.
Trump confirmed Thursday aboard Air Force One that multiple employees within the National Security Council were fired, but did add that it was not many. So far, no consequences have been handed down to Hegseth, Waltz or Ratcliffe, three of the highest-ranking officials who allegedly participated in the leaked Signal chat.
