A judicial thorn in the Trump administration‘s side is set to grow more pronounced as an ardent critic of the current government will oversee a lawsuit about inadvertently leaked national security information.

On Tuesday afternoon, nonprofit government transparency organization American Oversight filed a Federal Records Act lawsuit in Washington, D.C., against several members of President Donald Trump’s cabinet over the use of the Signal messaging app to discuss and plan a series of military strikes against Yemen.

On Wednesday morning, the case was randomly assigned to U.S. District Chief Judge James E. Boasberg, a jurist who got his start under George W. Bush and was then promoted by Barack Obama.

The judge’s name will be familiar to those in tune with another recent case involving national security issues and state secrets claims.
