Mike Waltz and his team reportedly created at least 20 group chats on Signal to discuss sensitive national security issues. Sources indicated these discussions included topics on Ukraine, China, and military operations in Yemen. Although the White House maintains Signal messages were not classified, this claim contradicts defense department protocols on what constitutes classified information, highlighting potential vulnerabilities in the administration's communication practices. The use of personal Gmail accounts for government business has further raised concerns about security within the administration's handling of sensitive information.
Those anonymous sources told Politico the Signal chats covered a wide range of policy areas, including Ukraine, China, Gaza, broader Middle East policy, Africa and Europe.
The insistence by administration officials that none of the messages were classified, including past remarks by the White House press secretary... fly in the face of the defense department's own rulebook on what would count as classified.
