Republican senators are warning that any conversation taking place between senior Trump administration officials over the commercial app, Signal, needs to be preserved to determine whether classified information was compromised and to comply with the Federal Records Act.
Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) says he’s working on a letter with Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.), the ranking member of the Armed Services Committee, instructing the Trump administration to preserve all the records related to a Signal chat among senior officials about a military strike on Houthi rebels.
“We’re working on a different letter on preservation of documents,” Wicker said.
