Trump says 3rd term isn't a joke, despite term limit

Prior to boarding a flight to Guam from Hawaii, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made his most extensive comments yet about the Signal group and the information he shared about the Houthis. He continued to deny war plans were shared in the group chat.

"Nobody's texting war plans. I noticed this morning out came something that doesn't look like war plans. And as a matter of fact, they even changed the title to attack plans, because they know it's not war plans," Hegseth said. "There's no units, no locations, no routes, no flight paths, no sources, no methods, no classified information," he said without answering any more questions.

Leavitt was asked if she could definitely say no one would lose their jobs over the Signal scandal.

"What I can say definitively is what I just spoke to the president about, and he continues to have confidence in his national security team," she responded.

Leavitt was asked numerous times about the Signal group chat and whether or not it had classified info but the exasperated press secretary refused to discuss it further./p>

The White House is continuing to assert that material included in the Signal group chat about a U.S. strike on Houthis in Yemen was not classified despite a second story published by The Atlantic on Wednesday disputing those claims.

Asked how they would characterize the discussion's contents to Americans, press secretary Karoline Leavitt said it was a "sensitive policy discussion."

"I would characterize this messaging thread as a policy discussion, a sensitive policy discussion, surely, amongst high-level Cabinet officials and senior staff," Leavitt said. She added that "the American public should decide for themselves based on the outcome of this operation and what happened in this operation."

Trump appeared on the "VINCE Show" podcast Wednesday, where he reacted to The Atlantic releasing messages of the Signal group chat, again attacking the journalist and saying that no war plans were released.

"Somebody in my group either screwed up or it's a bad signal. You know, it's a bad signal. Happens too, but seems to be maybe came in with a staffer, and it was by accident," Trump said.

"For what we can tell, we'll know pretty much today, I think, but we have some bigger guys checking out the phones, but it's something that is not a big deal, other than you want to find out who did it and how they did it because you don't want it to happen, you know, in the future you can have that happen,” Trump added.
