President Donald Trump's negotiator Steve Witkoff was meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow while also participating in a Signal group chat with top security officials. Witkoff's involvement in the chat about military strikes on the Houthis in Yemen raised concerns about security risks. Colorado Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet questioned CIA Director John Ratcliffe about Witkoff's presence in Moscow during the chat. Ratcliffe denied knowledge of this, leading Bennet to criticize the incompetence and disrespect for intelligence agencies. The chat also included Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who was overseas during some of the conversations.
