Staff in the Department of Government of Efficiency were reminded to preserve all communications related to government activity, including messages on Signal, in a memo this week, after Trump administration cabinet members spoke about a United States military operation in a group chat with a journalist.
The memo, sent on Tuesday, told staffers to “capture and transmit” work-related messages that have been exchanged on personal devices, “whether via text, Signal, a personal email address, or otherwise” to comply with the Presidential Records Act.
