“America First Legal, a conservative legal group closely tied to the Trump administration, said Monday it was “no coincidence” that a CBS News Colorado investigation found Denver Mayor Mike Johnston and his staff began communicating on Signal — an end-to-end encryption app that can automatically delete messages — just three weeks after the legal group filed open records requests with Johnston and the city over Denver’s handling of the migrant crisis.
“America First Legal suggested in their statement what was done was an “attempt to conceal or cover up.” The Mayor’s Office has not said why it was decided that messages within the Strike Force group would initially be deleted.”
