A federal judge has mandated that the Trump administration retain all messages exchanged via the Signal messaging app regarding a planned military strike against Yemen's Houthis. This decision arises from a lawsuit filed by the watchdog group American Oversight, which alleges violations of federal record-keeping laws due to the use of a commercial platform for sensitive discussions. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg issued the ruling after the details emerged revealing that senior officials, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and National Security Adviser Michael Waltz, discussed the timing and specifics of the strikes just hours before they were executed.
