CIA director denies air strike chat leak was major mistake

Trump intelligence officials testify in a Senate hearing after war plans were leaked to a journalist in a group chat.

As President Donald Trump plays down the Signal leak, describing it as a 鈥済litch鈥�, a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing grilled officials to try to find out just how damaging this was to US national security.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe both denied that there was classified information in the chat.

Also on the programme: more details on the Darfur market attack in Sudan described as a 鈥渕assacre鈥�; and why bitcoin mines are heading to Africa.
