American Oversight v. Hegseth, Gabbard, Ratcliffe, Bessent, Rubio, and NARA Regarding Military Actions Planned on Signal Messaging App

Posted on March 26, 2025 by Dissent

Docket Number 25-0883 in District Court for the District of Columbia.

Lawsuit filed against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, DNI Tulsi Gabbard, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Secretary of State and acting Archivist Marco Rubio, and the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration concerning news reports that journalist Jeffery Goldberg had been added to a Signal group chat among those containing potentially classified information about active military operations.

Read the complaint on American Oversight.    This has to do with the Federal Records Act and the Administrative Procedure Act requiring the preservation and recovery of records created using Signal for a group–chat discussion of planned and active
military operations from March 11, 2025, through March 15, 2025.
