Senator Chris Coons indicated that the incident will be a significant focus of the hearing.

MIKE WALTZ TO FACE SIGNALGATE GRILLING IN HEARING TO FILL LAST TRUMP CABINET POST
Waltz will face questioning from lawmakers for the first time since he was ousted as national security adviser weeks after mistakenly adding a journalist to a private Signal chat used to discuss sensitive military plans.
The hearing will mark the first opportunity for Democrats on the panel to grill Waltz about the national security blunder and his judgment to serve as a presidential Cabinet member, albeit in a lesser-profile role.
“I expect he will be asked that many times,” Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) said.
