A U.S. judge has ordered officials to preserve Signal messages after reports revealed Trump aides discussed classified Yemen strike plans in the app.
A U.S. federal judge has ordered White House officials involved in a Signal group chat about military strikes in Yemen to preserve the messages, following a bombshell report suggesting they may have shared classified information.
On Monday, The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg reported that he was inadvertently added to a Signal chat alongside accounts that appeared to belong to senior Trump administration officials, including Vice President JD Vance and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz.
Members of the chat discussed an imminent strike against Yemen’s Houthi rebel group, and an account claiming to represent Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed plans for the March 15 attack, including weapons information.
Judge James Boasberg issued the preservation order in response to a lawsuit filed by watchdog group American Oversight, which alleges that the use of Signal by Trump officials violated federal records laws.
The Atlantic, which first reported the chat’s existence, noted that the messages were set to disappear automatically after a certain period—raising concerns that the records could be lost.
The Justice Department said the administration is already working to recover and preserve Signal messages from that timeframe.
