A federal judge ordered the administration of United States President Donald Trump to preserve Signal chat messages with details about the air strikes on Yemen.
The judge granted the request by the American Oversight transparency group to retain the messages sent via the app between March 11 and March 15. Previously, the group filed a lawsuit naming top ranking Trump cabinet officials, including CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as defendants, among others.
Trump and other high-ranking officials from his administration denied that any classified information was leaked. Nevertheless, The Atlantic's editor, Jeffrey Goldberg, who was accidentally added to the chat group by National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, called on the White House to acknowledge what he called a "national security breach," while others demanded Waltz's resignation.
