Live updates: Democrats press Gabbard, Ratcliffe on newly released Signal chat
President Trump's top national security officials are facing a second day of tough questions on Capitol Hill, this time in front of House members.
On Tuesday, the Senate Intelligence panel pressed the group to explain how planning of a U.S. airstrike on Yemen ended up in a chat on the encrypted Signal app that included The Atlantic's editor in chief. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, CIA Director John Ratcliffe and FBI Director Kash Patel are testifying again Wednesday before the House Intelligence Comittee at its previously scheduled annual threats hearing.
The questioning comes as The Atlantic, which published the bombshell story of the group chat Monday, released the actual texts of Cabinet members Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Democrats and Republicans are on the clock to raise the debt ceiling. The Congressional Budget Office said Wednesday that Congress likely has until August to raise the borrowing limit, but warned that deadline could slide up to May if the government needs to borrow more money than expected.
Also on Capitol Hill, NPR and PBS executives face accountability questions before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee's subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency.
At the White House, press secretary Karoline Leavitt is expected to brief reporters at 1 p.m.
