HRES 265 United States House · 119th Congress

Condemning the Trump administration for the use of an unauthorized method of communicating highly sensitive or potentially classified information regarding a United States military operation via the messaging platform "Signal".

HRES 265 is a symbolic House resolution condemning the Trump administration for allegedly using the Signal messaging app to share highly sensitive or classified military information, directly affecting officials including Vice President Vance, Secretary of Defense Hegseth, and Secretary of State Rubio. The resolution cites risks to national security, noting foreign adversaries like China and Russia have previously accessed U.S. classified data. It calls for investigations into unauthorized communications, mandates review of classified information procedures, and demands accountability for any violations of federal laws governing classified data handling. The resolution does not create new laws but formally expresses disapproval of the administration's communication practices.
