Trump said that even though the editor of The Atlantic was inadvertently added to a private chat about military plans, his presence had “no impact” on the military strikes in Yemen.

President Donald Trump said he is confident in his national security adviser, Mike Waltz -- a day after a report detailed how he inadvertently added a journalist to a Signal group chat discussing Yemen war plans. Trump told NBC News on Tuesday that Waltz "has learned a lesson and is a good man."

The Trump administration's top intelligence officials face Congress this week to offer their first testimony in office about the threats facing the United States and tackle urgent questions about the security breach that unfolded when war plans were mistakenly leaked to a journalist.

FBI Director Kash Patel, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, are among the witnesses who will appear Tuesday before the Senate Intelligence Committee and Wednesday before the House Intelligence Committee.
