Signal messages discussing sensitive U.S. military plans were not on CIA director John Ratcliffe’s phone when the CIA reviewed them, the CIA’s Chief Data Officer has said.
In a court document submitted Monday as part of a lawsuit between nonpartisan watchdog group American Oversight and White House officials, Hurley V. Blankenship said that when the CIA reviewed a sensitive Signal group chat on March 31, days after news broke that a journalist had been erroneously added to it, “substantive messages” were not present and instead the chat showed only its group name and administrative settings.

Officials on the chat group faced bipartisan criticism including the lawsuit, which alleged breaches of the Federal Records Act and the Administrative Procedure Act by conducting government business on a platform which erases communications.
I’d say pardon, but that implies anyone in this corrupt administration would even consider prosecution. So likely just more destruction of messages.
