Title
Judge orders now-infamous Signal chat be retained as tariff fallout deepens
Abstract
James Boasberg, the chief US district judge in Washington, ordered all messages in the group chat be preserved, adding that his decision was aimed at ensuring no messages were lost and not because he decided the Trump administration had done anything wrong.
Boasberg is set to decide at a later stage whether the disappearing message function of the Signal chat violated federal records retention laws.
