Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) said Trump intelligence officials lied when they said the information included in a Signal group chat regarding an airstrike in Yemen did not include classified information.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe idea that this information, if it was presented to our committee, would not be classified \u2014 y’all know it was a lie. That’s ridiculous. I’ve seen things much less sensitive be presented to us with high classification,\u201d Castro said Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd to say that it isn’t is a lie to the country.\u201d<\/p>\n
Castro made the comments<\/a> to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe, who both told the Senate Intelligence Committee one day prior that the Signal chat discussing plans for airstrikes<\/a> on Houthi rebels in Yemen did not include classified information. The discussions came to light after Atlantic Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg was inadvertently included in the group chat.<\/p>\n \u201cThere is no way, no way, having sat on this committee for nine years, that somebody would come in with that information and give us something that says unclassified, [that] you can walk out of this room with this information and give it to whomever you want.\u201d<\/p>\n
