The incident came to light when Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, revealed he had been mistakenly added to an encrypted chat that included high-ranking officials discussing attacks on Houthi targets. The group reportedly included Defense Secretary Hegset and Vice President JD Vance, among others.
During his testimony, Ratcliffe dismissed concerns that this constituted a serious error, despite Senator Mark Warner's warning that disclosure of such information "could have cost American lives." Ratcliffe defended the use of Signal for work communications, stating it was installed on his agency computer after he assumed the CIA directorship, and that he received training on its proper use.
According to Ratcliffe, the practice of using Signal predates both the Trump and Biden administrations. He emphasized that while Signal facilitates coordination, any decisions made through the platform are properly documented through formal channels.
Ratcliffe, who was confirmed as CIA Director on January 23 by a bipartisan Senate vote of 74-25, has made history as the first person to have served as both CIA Director and Director of National Intelligence. He previously held the DNI position during Trump's first administration from 2020 until its conclusion.
Since taking office, Ratcliffe has focused on what he considers the primary threat to American security: China. In February, under his leadership, the CIA revised its assessment of COVID-19's origin, changing from "undecided" to expressing "low confidence" that the virus originated from a laboratory leak in Wuhan.
The same month, the CIA complied with an Executive Order from President Trump requiring the agency to send the White House an unclassified email identifying the first names and last initials of all employees hired in the previous two years. This move has been criticized by former CIA officials as potentially compromising the identities of agents.
During his January confirmation hearing, Ratcliffe promised to keep politics out of the CIA's work and vowed to invest more heavily in human intelligence to avoid intelligence failures like those that occurred during the Biden administration, including the fall of Kabul in 2021 and the Hamas attack on Israel in October 2023.
As he continues in his role, Ratcliffe faces the challenge of balancing the agency's intelligence-gathering mission with increasing political scrutiny in a highly polarized Washington.
