claims that no war plans were shared.
The Atlantic published the messages, which included sensitive details about the operation.
The White House insists no classified information was leaked, calling it a 'policy discussion.' Both Republican and Democratic

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on her use of the app.
A government watchdog group has sued Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other Trump officials, alleging they violated federal
records laws by using Signal for high-level national security discussions.
Some lawmakers are calling for Hegseth’s resignation over the leak.

automakers.
The announcement has already caused stock prices to dip.
