Judge in Alien Enemies Act case to oversee case about Signal chat

The judge who the government has argued can't be trusted with sensitive information in the Alien Enemies Act case
-- has been assigned to a case about top government officials appearing to share sensitive information on the commercial messaging application Signal. 

U.S. District Court Judge James #Boasberg in the District of Columbia has been assigned to oversee the case of American Oversight against top officials involved in a Signal group chat about an attack in Yemen.
The lawsuits seeks to make sure the officials are not using the app to get around federal record-keeping requirements.  
“Messages in the Signal chat about official government actions, including, but not limited to, national security deliberations, are #federal #records and must be preserved in accordance with federal statutes, and agency directives, rules, and regulations,” the plaintiffs argue. 
Tulsi #Gabbard is one of the defendants in the case, and used the suit as argument for why she couldn't answer some questions about the group chat in today's House hearing.
"As a result of that pending litigation, I'm limited in my ability to comment further" on the case, she testified.
#Boasberg is overseeing a separate civil case in which alleged Venezuelan gang members have sued to stop from being deported under Trump's invocation of the rarely used Alien Enemies Act.

The administration has refused to answer some of the judge's questions about the initial March 15 deportations in the case and suggested in a filing it did not believe the court could be trusted with such sensitive information

Today’s summary (feeling done)

Other than the colossal #NationalSecurity breach by the whole of #Trump’s #intelligence & #defense cabinet secretaries (yeah…, other than than Mrs. Lincoln how was the play?) today’s news:

#TheAtlantic / #JeffreyGoldberg releases everything:

#Gabbard & #Ratcliffe lied through their teeth in the #House

Pete Hegseth: VP: I fully share your loathing of European free-loading. It's PATHETIC. But Mike is correct, we are the only ones on the planet (on our side of the ledger) who can do this. Nobody else even close. Question is timing. I feel like now is as good a time as any, given POTUS directive to reopen shipping lanes. I think we should go; but POTUS still retains 24 hours of decision space. 8:49 AM SM: As I heard it, the president was clear: green light, but we soon make clear to Egypt and Europe what we expect in return. We also need to figure out how to enforce such a requirement. EG, if Europe doesn't remunerate, then what? If the US successfully restores freedom of navigation at great cost there needs to be some further economic gain extracted in return. 9:35 AM Pete Hegseth: Agree 9:46 AM

#Witkoff did not confirm in the post whether he had been using #Signal on a govt device or personal device. But when recounting why he was silent for portions of the group chat discussion, Witkoff said it was "because I had no access to my personal devices until I returned from my trip."

Witkoff's post also comes after Sen #AdamSchiff sent a letter to #Gabbard & him requesting info about their use of Signal & travel by March 31.

Rep #JimmyGomez, #Democrat CA, asked if #Gabbard or #Ratcliffe had any info as to whether #Defense Sec #PeteHegseth had been drinking the day he texted clearly #classified information on #Signal.
Gomez’s question resulted in an explosion of feigned indignation from Ratcliffe–accusing Gomez of inappropriate behavior. Gomez replied #Hegseth’s alcohol abuse was a concern to Americans & he’d sworn in his confirmation hearing he’d quit. Yet, Hegseth recently appeared at a podium in Europe w/a drink.

Rep #JasonCrow, #Democrat of Colorado, asked #TulsiGabbard if she was traveling during the time of the attack & the #Signal discussion. She said she was traveling in Asia, but did not recall what country.

Crow made the point that the #Houthis have been able to shoot down U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drones, one of the weapons used in the strike on #Yemen & got #Gabbard to say she knew Houthis had that capability.

Well done Rep #JoaquinCastro!

During the #House #Intelligence Cmte hearing, #Castro asked #TulsiGabbard why #Venezuela was not included in the annual #ThreatAssessment Report. Castro cited #Trump’s invocation of the #AlienEnemiesAct to conduct #MassDeportations & Trump’s claim that he could invoke the #AEA because he believes we are at #war with Venezuela. Castro asked #Gabbard that if we are at war with a country how is it possible that they didn’t warrant entry in the assessment.

"There were no sources, methods, locations or war plans that were shared," she claimed. "This was a standard update to the #NationalSecurity cabinet that was provided alongside updates that were given to foreign partners in the region."

#Gabbard also said that #Signal is pre-installed on government devices. (wtf?)

She referred to a pending lawsuit as a reason why she would be “limited” in commenting further on the issue.

"#NationalSecurity advisor has taken full responsibility for this, & the National Security Council is conducting an in-depth review, along w/technical experts working to determine how this reporter was inadvertently added to this chat," #Gabbard testified this morning.

#TulsiGabbard maintained that #classified info was not shared, but called the conversation "candid & sensitive."

As a general rule, we do not publish info about #military ops if that info could possibly jeopardize lives of #US personnel. That is why we chose to characterize the nature of the info being shared, not specific details about attacks.

The stmnts by #Hegseth, #Gabbard, #Ratcliffe, & #Trump—combined w/the assertions made by numerous admin ofcls that we are lying about the content of the #Signal texts—have led us to believe that people should see the texts in order to reach their own conclusions.
