Sen #RogerWicker, #Republican of MS & the chair of the #Senate panel which has #oversight of the #Pentagon, says that he & his Democratic counterpart will request an expedited investigation by the Dept of #Defense Office of Inspector General into the #Signal group chat. Wicker & Sen #JackReed, Democrat of RI & the top Dem on the cmte, are also seeking to hold classified briefings on the matter.
It’s unclear who will oversee the investigation because #Trump fired the IG at the Pentagon.
**Final edit: both RI senators voted NO on cloture. Call to thank them!**
RI voters: Jack Reed is apparently a NO on cloture, call to thank him for standing firm.

Sheldon Whitehouse is NO on cloture. Call to thank him.
The statement was signed by the top-ranking #Democrats on a trio of #NationalSecurity panels: Senators #JackReed of RI, of the #ArmedServices Cmte; #JeanneShaheen of NH, of the #ForeignRelations Cmte; & #MarkWarner of VA, of the #Intelligence Cmte. Senator #ChrisCoons of DE, another snr member of the foreign relations panel, also signed on.
