[EXPOSED] Deep State Judge Strikes Again? Obama-Appointed Boasberg Takes Over Signal Chat Lawsuit

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The political warfare against Trump-world continues, and this time it comes wrapped in encrypted chat apps, courtroom drama — and a judge with deep ties to the Obama era. A new lawsuit filed by the far-left group American Oversight is making headlines — and it’s targeting some of the most prominent figures in Trump’s post-presidency orbit.

At the center of the controversy is a Signal group chat — yes, the double-encrypted app used by journalists, spies, and politicians alike. According to The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg, he was “accidentally” added to a private group where Trump officials allegedly discussed military action against Iranian-backed Houthi militants in Yemen.

Goldberg’s claim immediately sparked a firestorm. But during a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing, CIA Director John Ratcliffe shut it down cold. Ratcliffe testified that no undercover CIA officers were involved in the chat and no classified intel was exchanged. He even noted that the CIA itself installed Signal on his device.

“Signal is approved for government communication. This is a non-issue being spun into a scandal,” Ratcliffe said.

A Lawsuit Built on a Media Spin?

That didn’t stop American Oversight from jumping into action. The group filed a lawsuit demanding a temporary restraining order and pulling in a who’s-who of Trump’s cabinet: Pete Hegseth (Defense), John Ratcliffe (CIA), Tulsi Gabbard (DNI), Marco Rubio (State), and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

Even the National Archives made the list — all over allegations that the use of Signal violated the Presidential Records Act.

Boasberg Assigned the Case — Coincidence?

Enter Judge James E. Boasberg, an Obama appointee with a history of controversial rulings. Critics argue that Boasberg’s record shows a pattern of activist judgments favoring the political establishment.

Though federal court cases are typically assigned at random to avoid bias or “judge shopping,” the appointment of Boasberg raised eyebrows in certain corners of Washington.

📄 Documented Proof:

A court filing dated March 26, 2025, confirms that Chief Judge James E. Boasberg has been officially assigned to oversee the case AMERICAN OVERSIGHT v. HEGSETH et al — fueling further speculation about political motivations.

“War Plans” or Word Games?

Backed into a corner, Goldberg and fellow journalist Shane Harris responded by publishing redacted “details” of the alleged discussions — rebranding them from “war plans” to “attack plans” in a bid to sustain the narrative.

But Team Trump isn’t buying it.

A spokesperson for the officials involved blasted the allegations, stating:

“This is a smear campaign based on false premises. No war plans, no leaks, just political theater.”

Both Ratcliffe and Gabbard confirmed again that no sensitive or classified military strategy was discussed — calling Goldberg’s narrative “deeply dishonest.”

Media Hype, Legal Overreach?

The clash highlights a broader pattern: legal warfare being waged in courts, often amplified by coordinated media coverage. Observers say the move could further undermine public trust in both the judiciary and legacy outlets.
