"The investigation remains ongoing," the official said without providing details about the nature of the alleged disclosure, including whether it was made to a journalist or to someone else.
[typical, punish the guy who let the press in on it, but not the freaking president’s CABINET MEMBERS who were actively divulging classified #military operations on a commercial app on their private devices!]
Exclusive: Top #Hegseth adviser #DanCaldwell put on leave in #Pentagon leak probe
One of #US #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth's leading advisers, Dan Caldwell, was escorted from the Pentagon on Tues after being identified during an investigation into leaks at the #DOD…
Caldwell was placed on administrative leave for "an unauthorized disclosure," an official said.
[was he who added #JeffreyGoldberg?]

NEW: An ongoing lawsuit over those #SignalGate messages forced the government to cough up some information about its attempts to capture and preserve them to comply w/ the law. The attorneys behind the suit say it just looks like evidence of a calculated effort to destroy government records.
Here's What Happened to Those ...
The #CIA has confirmed that when it scanned Director #JohnRatcliffe's phone for #Signalgate messages, they were gone. That is in violation of public records laws.

The disgusting #hypocrisy of these American liberals who are anti #Trump has no limits.
This POS is worried about his criminal pilots bombing Yemen to protect #Netanyahu's right to commit #genocide and want accountability for those who released the well known plans of #US bombing #Yemen.

....and #SignalGate is much, much bigger than one group chat.
Reminder: #SignalGate is still a thing.
Apple's iPhone may be the new Signalgate scapegoat

#WhiteHouse reportedly blames auto-suggested #iPhone contact for #Signal scandal

For secure messaging: Use @signalapp , @session or @simplex but be aware of risks. Group chats can be a weak point for even the powerful, as the recent " #signalgate " proves. Verify contacts, manage group permissions & lock your phone compulsively. @freedomofpress

“You don’t need 30-plus years in uniform to know that holding a detailed yet insecure discussion about a pending military mission is wrong; the participants in the chat knew, too. They just didn’t care, not as much as they cared about keeping their communications from being legally discoverable.”

Wondering whether @RocketChat's new landing page is purely coincidental 
:D
I doubt that the satellite is 'off'. They just stopped transmitting to it for broadcast.
Watch for it to be re-purposed so Trump and Putin can communicate.
The review also will “review compliance with classification & records retention requirements,” Stebbins wrote. He requested that the #Defense Dept designate 2 points of contact within 5 days, with work done both in Washington & at the headquarters of US Central Command in Tampa, Florida.
Steven Stebbins, the #Pentagon’s acting #IG, said in a memo to #SecDef #PeteHegseth & Dpty #DOD Secy Steve Feinberg that the review will “determine the extent to which the Secretary of #Defense & other DoD personnel complied with DoD policies & procedures for the use of a commercial messaging application for official business.”
The #Defense Dept inspector general’s office said Thurs that it will scrutinize top #Trump admin officials’ use of #Signal, an unclassified messaging app to coordinate a highly sensitive #military operation last month in Yemen, complying with a request from #Republicans & #Democrats in #Congress.
