Referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and in addition to the Committees on Foreign Affairs, Armed Services, and Intelligence (Permanent Select), for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This resolution condemns the Trump administration for allegedly using the unsecured messaging app Signal to communicate highly sensitive or potentially classified information about military operations. According to the resolution, multiple high-ranking officials—including Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and others—used this unauthorized method, violating federal protocols for handling classified information and potentially exposing national security secrets to foreign adversaries like China and Russia. The resolution argues this practice endangered American military personnel and violated the Federal Records Act. The measure calls on the administration to investigate how widely Signal and other unapproved communication apps were used, review its classified information procedures, hold violators accountable under federal law, and ensure all sensitive communications occur only in secure facilities known as SCIFs (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities). This is a symbolic congressional statement rather than legislation that creates new laws or allocates funding.
