Judge who ruled against Trump deportation flights will oversee Signal lawsuit

• The new lawsuit alleges that Trump officials' use of a platform that allows messages about government business to be erased is a violation of record retention laws.

Catch up quick: The Signal group chat became public after Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, was inadvertently added.

• The White House has acknowledged the chat took place, but denied that any "classified materials" or "war plans" were discussed.

The intrigue: Boasberg has already faced the Trump administration's wrath after he ordered deportation flights containing alleged members of a Venezuelan gang to return to the U.S.

• The Trump administration defied his order, arguing it came after the flights were already over international waters.
• Boasberg slammed the Trump administration for issuing the deportation order "in the dark" to skirt potential legal challenges.
• Republicans moved quickly to impeach Boasberg after Trump in a social media post attacked him and other "Crooked Judges."
• Trump's outburst drew a rare public rebuke from Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.
