White House Declares “Signalgate” Controversy Closed.
The White House has officially stated that the controversy surrounding the recent leak of war plans via the Signal messaging application is now considered closed. Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt announced on Monday that measures have been implemented to prevent similar incidents from recurring, though she declined to provide specific details.
This declaration effectively ends speculation regarding potential disciplinary action against National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth, individuals implicated in the incident. The resolution, however, has drawn criticism. Democratic lawmaker Madeleine Dean has accused Republicans of employing deflection tactics and failing to adequately address the security breach, demanding accountability and further explanation.
