The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance Scott Beshent received a note to protect on March 26, said the executing general advisor, as well as tips on his main obligation to keep records. As a result, “the images were made by the phones of Secretary Bensten and G -n (Daniel) Kat”, the head of the staff of Bessent. The announcements start at 13:48 EST on March 15, 2025

“The Atlantic Article was a chat, which took place the 11th to the 15th,” says Anthony, “so much everything was gone -from the only defendant who gave us a clear and specific information about what they were able to save.”

The Ministry of Defense told the court last month that its lawyers were “in the process” to comply with the Rules for the Protection of the Agency and that the Communication Team of the Secretary Heget was Bill asked to forward Signal messages to an official DOD account.
