National Security Advisor Michael Waltz and a senior aide reportedly conducted sensitive government communications through personal Gmail accounts, leading to scrutiny over security practices. Waltz's use of Gmail for logistical matters and discussions on military operations, alongside reports of discussions occurring on Signal related to national security, has prompted questions about the handling of classified information during Trump's administration. The situation has featured in broader criticisms of Waltz, amidst reports of waning support from within the White House and alleged compromised discussions with high-ranking officials.
Waltz himself "had less sensitive, but potentially exploitable information sent to his Gmail, such as his schedule and other work documents, said officials."
According to the Post, a senior Waltz aide used Gmail "for highly technical conversations with colleagues at other government agencies involving sensitive military positions and powerful weapons systems relating to an ongoing conflict."
