U.S. Judge Orders Waltz, Vance, Rubio to Preserve Messages from Signal War Group Chat
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Federal Judge James Boasberg has ordered top officials, including
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, national security adviser Michael Waltz,
Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, to preserve
all communications sent on a Signal group chat in the lead-up to the
March 15 attack on Yemen. The watchdog group American Oversight sued
over the officials' use of Signal for the exchange, which accidentally
included the editor of The Atlantic. Attorney General Pam Bondi has
indicated the Justice Department is not planning to investigate the
matter despite growing bipartisan calls.

Meanwhile, Axios is reporting Minnesota Democrat Ilhan Omar is planning
to introduce articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth, Michael Waltz
and CIA Director John Ratcliffe.
