Chapter 2: How did the accidental group chat impact Trump officials?
Both Directors Gabbard and Radcliffe, who were on the message chain, saying no classified intelligence was shared.
Senator, I can attest to the fact that there were no classified or intelligence equities that were included in that chat group at any time.
The Secretary of Defense is the original classification authority. And my understanding is that his comments are that any information that he shared was not classified.
Democrats on the committee orchestrating many combative exchanges.
Did Jeff Goldberg, did he create a hoax that allowed him to become part of this signal thread? Please answer the question. Don't insult the intelligence of the American people.
It's hard for me to believe that targets and timing and weapons would not have been classified.
If it's not classified, share the text now.
As the White House previously said.
Is it classified or non-classified information on this tech? Back at the White House, the administration embracing what they think of as the big picture, like the attacks against the Houthi rebels, were a success.

April 15th is just around the corner. Act now, people, before the IRS acts first. U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg emerging as a central figure in the legal resistance to the second Trump administration. So far, federal judges handing down at least 15 universal injunctions, nationwide orders halting President Trump's executive actions. That can take months or even years to overturn.
None drawing more intense scrutiny than Judge Boasberg's decision to block deportations under President Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. Judge Boasberg first halting the removal of five suspected members of the Tren de Aragua gang from Venezuela, later broadening that injunction to cover all non-citizens subject to deportation under the order.
The move sparking fierce backlash from the Trump team. Senior advisor Stephen Miller accusing Judge Boasberg and others of overreach.
These radical, rogue judges that are usurping the powers of the presidency and laying waste to our entire constitutional system.
We spoke with Julie Kelly, reporter for Declassified on Substack, who has covered Judge Boasberg's work extensively, both in this case and during his oversight of the January 6th trials in Washington, D.C. She says the judge's concern for Venezuelan deportees stands in stark contrast to how he treated nonviolent Trump supporters.
He sentenced one man who had just told him that his cancer returned. He sentenced him to 45 days in prison. He sent another woman, 60-year-old woman from Pennsylvania, on nonviolent offenses, sent her to prison for 14 months. Her husband also had cancer. You know, they're aware of how these federal prisons operate. They know exactly how these people are going to be treated.
So I think that's the real double standard here is his very cautious concern over not just the alleged due process rights of these Venezuelans, but worried about how they're going to be treated in an El Salvador prison when he demonstrated no such concern over how Trump supporters were going to be treated. federal prison.
Under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, the president has sweeping authority during wartime, an invasion, or an incursion to deport citizens of hostile nations with limited due process. Judge Boasberg has acknowledged that throughout the case, but continues to uphold his injunction anyway, citing due process concerns for the illegal immigrants who are alleged gang members. Ms.

Chapter 4: Why is Judge Boasberg's background significant?
Chapter 5: What are the implications of Trump's pardon of Hunter Biden's ex-best friend?
Beyond Judge Boasberg's alleged political bias, Ms. Kelly pointing to signs of coordinated lawfare, highlighting ACLU documentation, including testimony from the five unnamed Venezuelans at the heart of this case. One claiming to have overheard, quote, two U.S. government officials talking, end quote, saying, there is an order saying we can't take off, but we already have.
There are groups of lawyers saying who are coaching illegals how to buck the system. So this appears to be a very good representation of that, how these know exactly what needs to be said, exactly how to countermand what the administration is saying in court, and protect themselves from being identified as part of this gang.
So it was pretty interesting to read these sworn statements, these declarations, talking about what they saw and what they heard, but also what saying that they don't speak English and they were asked to sign documents, but they didn't because they don't understand the language. So it just goes to the insanity of the whole process.
On Monday, attorneys for the Trump administration and the defendants presenting oral arguments before a three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. The Trump administration asking the court to lift the pause on deportations under the Alien Enemies Act. The Obama-appointed judge on the D.C. Circuit appeared skeptical of the administration's argument.
Patricia Millett, highly doubtful of the government's claims, she suggested that the Nazis were treated better under the Alien Enemies Act than the Venezuelan subjects. Julie Kelly, saying another Trump-appointed judge, Justin Walker, was in fact more skeptical of the ACLU's arguments.
Judge Walker, on the other hand, kept pushing the ACLU as to why they didn't pursue habeas petitions for these individuals. They didn't really have a good answer for that. He kept saying that that was the appropriate remedy and asked, why did the ACLU choose to file that lawsuit in Washington, D.C., when none of the illegals in that lawsuit lived in Washington, D.C.?
So it seemed like Judge Walker was very skeptical and noted, I think, identified several problems with both the ACLU lawsuit and Jeb Osberg's. temporary restraining order. So because it's an emergency motion, expecting some sort of answer this week. So they might put a temporary stay on Jeff Bosberg's temporary restraining orders to halt those flights.
And if they do, what the DOJ said Monday afternoon is they would then go ahead and restart those deportation flights of TDA members to El Salvador.
The third judge on the panel, Karen Henderson, is a George H.W. Bush appointee. She remained very quiet at the argument, making her vote harder to predict. Devin Archer, former business partner of Hunter Biden, on Tuesday receiving a federal pardon from President Trump.
