Signal is end to end encrypted, meaning even with warrants and access to Signal's servers, the government can't see much.
You could argue that the government has a backdoor to whatever encryption algorithm Signal uses, however Signal is open source and if you wanted to you check that for yourself.
I think the most likely explanation is that either Tucker or the other guy's laptop or phone was hacked and the messages were intercepted that way.
A heads-up for anyone new to Linux & open source software:
Open-source doesn't automatically mean trustworthy.
Open-source has the enormous advantage of publicly visible source code but most of the time, that code is:
This is why we see linux development & adoption receiving exponentially less resistance from the PTB.
They are confident they will be able to sneak backdoors into popular open source software.
I'd like to add : Checked pre update, and laziness updates without checking.
Is there a secure, confidential solution? Does one already exist? If not, With proper funding, does the technology already exist to make one?

Agree it's probably a back door in the phone itself. But then again Signal was stated by a bunch of folks with ties to the intel community so it's possible it's compromised. If I recall it's still centrally signed, not distributed e2e, so there's a vector.
At the time wire was far superior to signal. I haven't bothered keeping up in a while.
