President Trump and Capitol Hill lawmakers were immediately briefed Saturday on the false alarm in Hawaii for a ballistic missile attack, including Hawaii Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard who said she was trying to calm fears and “get to the bottom” of the mishap. “Hawaii – this is a false alarm. I have confirmed with officials there is no income missile,” Gabbard tweeted in all uppercase letters. David Ige met with top officials of the state’s Department of Defense and the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency to determine what caused the false alarm and to prevent it from happening again. “While I am thankful this morning’s alert was a false alarm, the public must have confidence in our emergency alert system.
