Judge James Boasberg held a hearing Thursday afternoon regarding the lawsuit filed against Trump Administration officials over their use of the double-encrypted app, Signal.
As previously reported, the left-wing watchdog group American Oversight filed a lawsuit against John Ratcliffe, Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, and others, alleging their use of the Signal app violates the Presidential Records Act.
American Oversight boasts about its ‘activist litigation’ aimed at Republican interests, particularly the Trump Administration.
Now, they’re suing Trump officials for using Signal to discuss ‘military actions.’
According to Jeffrey Goldberg, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Vice President JD Vance were part of a Signal group called ‘Houthi PC small group,’ where they discussed plans to strike terrorists in Yemen.
Instead of leaving the group chat immediately, Goldberg took screenshots and published a report in The Atlantic.
Judge Boasberg opened Thursday’s hearing by insisting he was randomly assigned to the Signal case. Boasberg then ordered the agencies involved in the group chat with Jeffrey Goldberg to preserve their Signal messages from March 11 to 15.
