Oh snap!
The judge who the govt has argued can't be trusted w/sensitive information in the #AlienEnemiesAct case has been assigned to a case about top govt officials' appearing to share sensitive information on the commercial messaging application #Signal.
US District Court Judge James #Boasberg in the DC has been assigned to oversee the case of American #Oversight against top ofcls involved in the Signal group chat about an attack on Yemen.
The lawsuit seeks to make sure the ofcls are not using the app to get around federal record-keeping requirements.
“Messages in the #Signal chat about ofcl govt actions, including, but not limited to, #NationalSecurity deliberations, are federal records & must be preserved in accordance w/federal statutes, & agency directives, rules, & regulations,” the plaintiffs argue.
