It's been acknowledged by the government that this happened. They aren't denying anything, and are saying it was just a mistake. From WSJ:

> House Speaker Mike Johnson (R., La.) dismissed questions about whether Waltz should face consequences for discussing the Yemen operation on an unclassified chat group that included a journalist. “Clearly I think the administration has acknowledged it was a mistake and they’ll tighten up and make sure it doesn’t happen again.”

SecDef and the White House were claiming it was made up. This is double speak from the Speaker.
