President Trump's top national security officials faced 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 testified Wednesday before the House Intelligence Committee at its previously scheduled annual threats hearing.
The questioning came as The Atlantic, which published the bombshell story of the group chat Monday, released the actual texts of Cabinet members Wednesday.
Some high profile Democrats have called on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who sent details about the timing of the Yemen strike in the chat, to be fired.
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 faced accountability questions before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee's subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt also announced Wednesday that the president will unveil new tariffs on the auto industry. Trump is expected to deliver remarks about the move in the Oval Office at 4 p.m.
Follow along all day for updates.
