0:00.0 | Today is Tuesday, March 25th. We're talking about what may have been a high-level national security breach by President Trump's own national security team. Also, details about even more tariffs set to take effect on what Trump is now calling Liberation Day. Plus, where temperatures are expected to break records this week, by people who wanted insight into their ancestry are now worried about their data and the first national event at the |

0:26.4 | and even more news coming up. Welcome, welcome to The Newsworthy. All the day's news in around 10 minutes. |
0:34.7 | Fast, fair, fun, and on the go. I'm Erica Mandy. Thanks so much for being |
0:39.2 | here. You ready? Let's do this. An apparent intel leak has raised some serious questions about |
0:47.8 | whether some of America's most sensitive secrets are being mishandled. The White House confirmed |
0:52.5 | Defense Secretary Pete Hegseeth shared war plans on the |
0:55.6 | chat app signal. The group chat included the vice president, the secretary of state, the CIA director, |

1:37.6 | sides of the aisle are demanding an explanation from the White House. They say military operations |
1:42.0 | need to be handled with the utmost discretion and |
1:44.3 | precision, only using approved secure lines of communication. But House Speaker Mike Johnson says |
1:49.5 | he does not see the need for disciplinary action, since he believes the Trump administration |
1:53.8 | won't let it happen again. As for Hegeseth, he's criticizing the reporter who was on the chat, |
1:58.8 | saying he's a, quote, deceitful and highly discredited |
