A far-left nonprofit filed a lawsuit against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and all participants in the Houthi Signal chat group seeking all records for the past three months.
National Security Counselors is a far-left nonprofit with ties to Deep State lawyer Mark Zaid and attorneys connected to Lawfare blog.
Last month it was reported that Jeffrey Goldberg, the anti-Trump editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, claimed he was accidentally added to a secure Signal group chat where top Trump administration officials discussed sensitive military operations against Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen.
According to Jeffrey Goldberg, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Vice President JD Vance were in a Signal group called “Houthi PC small group,” discussing plans to strike terrorists in Yemen.
Rather than exiting the chat group, Goldberg took screenshots and published a report in The Atlantic.

Additional screenshots of the Houthi PC small group chat revealed it was set to one week of ‘disappearing messages’ so the group chat has ‘self destructed.’
According to leaks, Pete Hegseth has set up other Signal chat groups to communicate with other members of the Trump Administration.
Members of the Biden Regime used the Signal app to communicate but it only became a scandal under the Trump Administration.
The Hill reported:
Participants on a Signal group chat discussion about a strike on Houthi targets in Yemen are facing a lawsuit over a request to turn over all conversions they had on the encrypted app over the past three months.
The suit is the first filed since reporting indicating Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth discussed the same strike in a Signal chat with his wife, brother and personal lawyer.
The suit asks for the Signal messages from Hegseth and other top Trump officials, asking for the totality of messages in their accounts “regardless of sender or recipient.”
“When news first broke about Signalgate, the first question on a lot of national security people’s minds wasn’t, ‘How did this happen?’ We knew how it happened. Our question was, ‘How often did this happen?’” said Kel McClanahan, executive director of the nonprofit National Security Counselors, who brought the suit after filing a similar public information request on behalf of a journalist.
Last month left-wing watchdog group American Oversight filed a lawsuit against John Ratcliffe, Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard and others, claiming their use of the double encrypted app Signal violates the Presidential Records Act.
American Oversight boasts about its ‘activist litigation’ targeting Republican interests, especially the Trump Administration.
