Trump says 3rd term isn't a joke, despite term limit

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) is calling for accountability in the wake of the Signal group chat fiasco -- where a journalist was added to a conversation with top Trump administration officials discussing a military operation in Yemen.

Kelly joined ABC News Live after attending the heated hearing in the Senate on Tuesday, addressing the security breach.

"You have an opportunity to get into a skiff that should not be done on an unsecured messaging app. I mean, how ridiculous and dumb was that?" Kelly said.

"I think there needs to be an investigation and people should be held accountable," he added.

During the Senate hearing Tuesday, U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe denied there was classified information shared in the group chat.

"People know the way this is supposed to work," Kelly continued. "And this was a very big breach of the way we handle classified information, discussing military strikes on a messaging app and then not being able to answer the questions."

Five Cabinet members face a federal lawsuit over their alleged use of Signal to discuss U.S. military strikes in Yemen.

American Oversight, a nonpartisan nonprofit organization, filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday afternoon in Washington, D.C., alleging that the use of Signal violates the federal law that governs the preservation of government records, asking a federal judge to order the Cabinet members to preserve the messages.

According to the lawsuit, emergency relief is needed "to prevent the unlawful destruction of federal records and to compel Defendants to fulfill their legal obligations to preserve and recover federal records created through unauthorized use of Signal for sensitive national security decision-making."

The lawsuit, which names Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, John Ratcliffe, Scott Bessent, Marco Rubio and the National Archives and Records Administration as defendants, asked a federal judge to declare the use of Signal unlawful and order the Cabinet members to preserve the records immediately.

According to American Oversight, the use of Signal violated the Federal Records Act and the chat reported by The Atlantic "strongly suggests" the Trump administration has used Signal in other settings.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at cutting down immigrants without legal status on voter rolls.

Will Scharf, the White House staff secretary, said the order ensures that "the Department of Homeland Security and the data that they have available is being fully weaponized to ensure that illegal immigrants aren't voting."

The order instructs that federal funding be cut from states that don't take steps to "secure" their elections and calls on the Department of Justice to prosecute election crimes in states the administration says are not "in compliance with federal law around election integrity."

It also calls for the election assistance commission to require documented proof of U.S. citizenship on mail-in voter registration. Documentation can include a U.S. passport, a military ID, a state or federally issued ID, or a REAL ID that indicates citizenship.

It is already illegal for non-U.S. citizens to vote in state and federal elections, and reports of noncitizens voting in elections are very rare, according to research from the Brennan Center for Justice.

A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from shutting down Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.

U.S. Judge Royce Lamberth issued a temporary restraining order Tuesday afternoon that blocked the dismantling of the organization, finding the Trump administration’s attempt to defund the group was “unsupported by any facts or reasoning” and likely violated federal law.

“The leadership of [United States Agency for Global Media] cannot, with one sentence of reasoning offering virtually no explanation, force RFE/RL to shut down—even if the President has told them to do so,” wrote Judge Lamberth, a Reagan appointee.

Earlier this month, Trump signed an executive order directing multiple agencies including the US Agency for Global Media – which oversees Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty – to reduce to cut their functions to the minimum required by law. Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty sued last week to block the Trump administration from terminating its federal funding.
