Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Wednesday said “very sensitive information” was discussed during a Trump administration group chat on Signal that included a journalist, but the longtime ally of President Trump said he sees the snafu as a “lessons learned” episode.
“Recent revelations about the content of the texts — while not discussing war plans per se — do in fact detail very sensitive information about a planned and ongoing military operation,” Graham said in a statement. “Lessons learned.”
Jeffrey Goldberg, editor in chief of The Atlantic and former foreign affairs correspondent, reported Monday that he had been inadvertently included in correspondence through Signal, an encrypted messaging app, where Vice President Vance, national security adviser Mike Waltz, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and others discussed plans for an attack on Houthi targets in Yemen hours before it took place on March 15.
The White House has repeatedly defended the officials involved in the mishap.

Ditto .... I can’t add anything to that.
we all know sensitive info and it was a mistake to learn from. Now, it’s OVER. Moving on.
This guy just doesn’t know when to keep his f****** mouth shut, does he...
If there was any doubt…
I suspect that a lot of these people are going to regret their comments on this one.
So Linda was in on it from the beginning.
The sHill, so...
AND LG....
The Hill knows who to get the right words from. Talk about a nothingburger.
“Sensitive”, that’s just one step down from double super secret. 🤣
‘Sensitive’ falls far short of Classified…
Tempest in a teapot, dems looking for a scalp…
Graham is a total tool. He became a Trump supporter when trump was in charge, and abandoned him when he wasn’t, and came back on board when Trump was back in charge. A textbook beta.
Why? He’s telling the truth.
Don’t turn into democrats willing to turn a blind eye to reality.
Real question is, how exactly did the reporter wind up on the chat.
Denying sensitive information was discussed is idiotic, it clearly was and it was stupid for them to deny it was.
Could someone have accidentally added the reporter? Yes.. could someone have gotten the reporter on the chat, making those on it thinking they were inviting someone else? Possibly.... lets face it in the context of the INtelligence Community and how they have been documented undermining Trump, and now that Trump exposed the CIA’s slush fund that is USAID to the world, it certainly could have been something a bit more sinister that happened.
However, to deny that sensitive information was indeed discussed in that conversation is just lying.
In the meantime, Hillary only had “Classified” documents...nothing “sensitive”.
I’m surprised he took this long to drop his two cents in.
This is politics.
You want to try to argue semantics of “classified” or not, you have already lost.
No sane rational human being is going to buy that a group of folks discussing the operational details and targets of a military operation that is about to happen or already underway is going to fall for claims that this wasn’t information that should not be getting out to people who shouldn’t have it.. whether you formally call it classified or not doesn’t matter in the political optics.
As more and more comes out regarding the chat, I’m more and more convinced the white house WANTED this tool on the chat to do what, well, what he did. We all now see it. Adults who have been involved in team efforts look at this as good people doing good stuff, using good communication.
We got to see how this particular factory makes sausage, and we approve.
Snake. Nasty, belly-crawling snake.
From the texts I saw, there was nothing top secret about it.
Let’s be real....the mention of ANY kind of weapon wouldn’t’ make a record classified. We know all about those weapons and their usual role. The conversation was just that....a conversation...about “knowns”....
