US Court Orders Preservation of Chat Group Messages

A US judge has ordered the Trump administration to preserve messages from a chat group where a journalist was accidentally added, discussing attack plans.

The case was brought by a US organization demanding more government transparency, accusing the administration of violating communication laws by using Signal.

National Security Advisor Mike Waltz had involved a magazine editor in a conversation among high-ranking officials, revealing details about US attacks on Houthi rebels in Yemen.

The White House attempted damage control, claiming no secret information was shared. Multiple parties are investigating what is now referred to as Signalgate.
