Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, acknowledged Wednesday that details of a planned attack on Houthi forces in Yemen were shared in a chat among US officials that inadvertently included a journalist.

“The conversation was candid and sensitive, but as the president and national security advisor stated, no classified information was shared,” Gabbard said in a House Intelligence Committee hearing. “There were no sources, methods, locations or war plans that were shared.”
