Lawmakers and legal experts claim the Yemen Signal group chat ‘blatantly violated security regulations designed to prevent exactly this kind of leak’
A Signal chat leak, where details of Yemen airstrikes were inadvertently shared with a journalist, may expose the Trump administration to legal issues. Lawmakers and legal experts claim the incident violated security regulations and federal laws like the Espionage Act, the Federal Records Act, and the Presidential Records Act. While the White House claims no classified information was shared, the use of an unsecured Signal chat to discuss sensitive military operations could be considered unlawful removal or concealment of records. Tulsi Gabbard refused to confirm her participation in the chat.
