Democratic lawmakers laid into former national security adviser Mike Waltz on Tuesday over his role in the Signalgate messaging scandal — saying he lied about aspects of the leaked chats and castigating him for the fact that sensitive information and potentially classified information was exposed.
“I was hoping to hear from you that you had some sense of regret over sharing what was very sensitive, timely information about a military strike on a commercially available app,” said Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.).
Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) said that Waltz had made false assertions about how a journalist was added to the chat. “I’ve seen you not only fail to stand up, but lie,” Booker said.
Waltz, for his part, blamed the Biden administration for approving the use of the messaging app.
