This House resolution directs the President and Secretary of State to provide Congress with documents and communications created since January 20, 2025, related to military strikes against the Houthis in Yemen and an incident involving the disclosure of classified information to a journalist via the Signal messaging application. The resolution specifically requests transcripts of a Signal group chat that included journalist Jeffrey Goldberg and discussions about sensitive strike planning, along with records about the strikes themselves, coordination with allies, legal justifications, and any fallout from the journalist's publication of the story. The resolution also seeks documentation of any new safeguards or reforms implemented by the executive branch in response to classified information being shared through a commercial application. Congress is giving the administration 14 days from the resolution's adoption to provide all requested materials, including emails, meeting notes, audio recordings, and other communications. The resolution was submitted by Representative Meeks and two dozen other House members and referred to the Foreign Affairs Committee.
