Published war plans
Group chat of the Trump government: Richter orders the messages
The government’s affair around Donald Trump’s government’s group chat continues. A judge now decided that the chats had to be kept.
In the affair about a secret group chat of government members before attacks in Yemen, a judge in Washington asked that all messages have to be saved. The chat about the common app signal was originally set so that the messages would have been automatically deleted after one week. Later, the national security advisor of US President Donald Trump, Mike Waltz, stopped the automatic disappearance to four weeks, as can be seen on the entertainment screenshots.
The “The Atlantic” editor Jeffrey Goldberg had made it public in an article at the beginning of the week that he was apparently invited by an oversight in a government-internal chat group in the messenger service, in which US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Minister of Defense Pete Hegseth and Waltz, among other things, had exchanged information about specific attack plans in Yemen.
“The Atlantic” originally held details about the incident. On Wednesday, however, the US magazine said that it had repeatedly decided to publish the chat history after Trump’s government had repeatedly replaced that secret information had been exchanged in the unsettled chat. Trump had also massively attacked the Goldberg journalist.
Judge is facing Donald Trump for the second time
The American Oversight organization has strained the current legal proceedings on the grounds that disappearing news violates rules for the storage of government documents. Judge James Boasberg now ordered that the defendants should do everything to store the chats. Defense Minister Hegseth, secret service coordinator Tulsi Gabbard and CIA director John Ratcliffe are mentioned in the lawsuit.
Boasberg has already contracted US President Donald Trump with another decision. It was about the deportation of Venezuelan migrants who, according to Trump government, belong to the criminal cartel Tren de Aragua. For this, Trump applied a law from 1798, which is actually intended for times of war. The judge did not see sufficient legal basis and had ordered the deportations to be stopped. The government nevertheless pushed the Venezolans and then claimed that the arrangement was too late and the planes were already in El Salvador (Read more here).
