Today, Congressman Jerry Nadler (NY-12) issued the following statement:

“If the evidence initially presented by Jeffrey Goldberg weren’t damning enough, the latest tranche of messages revealed today make it clear that the Trump Administration has been lying—and continues to lie—about the confidential war plans shared by Secretary Hegseth in an unsecured Signal chat.

The latest text messages confirm that in yesterday’s Senate Intelligence Committee hearing, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe lied under oath in their testimony. Perjury is a crime, and they should be prosecuted.

Any other military officer who demonstrated such disregard for security protocols would likely face dismissal from service and even a court-martial.

The Trump Administration appears to believe that cabinet secretaries and senior officials are immune from the law. They are not.

Even today, official Administration X accounts continue to lie about the timeline and sensitive nature of these plans. These lies, along with Secretary Hegseth’s careless attitude, cannot go unpunished. The Trump Administration must be held accountable. I renew my calls for Secretary Hegseth and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz to resign; and now call for every member of the signal chat to resign, and for DNI Gabbard and Director Ratcliffe to face prosecution to the fullest extent of the law.”

Perjury laws mean nothing if they are never enforced.

Waltz and Hegseth should also be prosecuted.

That would be a good start. Congress needs to demand a special prosecutor, because there is no way DOJ does this job.
