THE Trump administration’s top intelligence officials face Congress for back-to-back hearings this week to testify about the threats facing the United States and what the government is doing to counter them. 

The hearing comes a day after The Atlantic magazine journalist Jeffrey Goldberg reported that some of the most senior government figures — including Vice-President JD Vance — texted plans for upcoming military strikes in Yemen to a group chat that included the magazine’s editor-in-chief in a secure messaging app.

Mr Goldberg’s account of being added to a Signal group chat of US leaders co-ordinating plans for air strikes has raised questions about how sensitive information is supposed to be handled.
