Judge Orders Preservation of Signal Messages in Trump Administration Security Breach

A federal judge has mandated the preservation of Signal chats detailing U.S. airstrike plans, as bipartisan calls for investigations into potential national security violations grow louder.

• U.S. District Judge James Boasberg has issued a temporary restraining order requiring the Trump administration to preserve Signal messages from March 11-15, which included sensitive military details.
• The Senate Armed Services Committee has formally requested a Pentagon investigation into the use of an unsecured app to discuss operational plans for a Yemen airstrike.
• Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared precise strike timing and military asset details in the chat, which experts argue should have been classified, despite administration denials.
• The Atlantic published the full chat transcript, intensifying scrutiny of the administration's handling of sensitive information and prompting bipartisan criticism.
• National security experts have raised concerns about the use of Signal, a commercial app vulnerable to hacking, for high-stakes military communication, potentially endangering U.S. personnel.
