'I haven't read that': Tulsi Gabbard denies knowing Dept of Defense policy on using Signal

U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly questioned top intelligence officials from President Donald Trump's administration in a Tuesday hearing about their discussions in a Signal chat that may have revealed classified information. When discussing the matter in the Senate Intelligence Committee hearing, Kelly questioned Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe about whether the Signal discussion made mention of any targets in Yemen. "So, I understand that DOD policy prohibits discussion of even what is called Controlled Unclassified Information or CUI on unsecured devices," said Kelly. "Not familiar with the DOD policy, but I would say that the Secretary of Defense is the original classification authority for the DOD and decides what would be classified information," said Ratcliffe.
