The new report reveals that Trump national security adviser Mike Waltz has carried out an official US government project through his personal Gmail account. The use of the service reveals another security vulnerability as the administration turns the pages of war planning leaks to reporters.
Washington Post It has been reported On Tuesday, senior aides at Waltz used the service “for highly technical conversations with colleagues from other government agencies, including sensitive military positions and powerful weapons systems associated with the ongoing conflict.”
Waltz also had other information, such as his schedules and documents related to his work, sent to his Gmail account, providing a plausible way for foreign enemies to monitor senior US security guards.
A national security council spokesperson told the Post that Waltz did not send any information classified as accounts, but the administration frequently lied and misunderstood such disclosures.
“Mike Waltz is completely unqualified to be in a sensitive national security position, as in the case of the Trump national security team.” I told Axiosfollowing the latest disclosures.
Waltz is one of them The central figure The leak scandal included journalists in chats with senior administrators discussing ongoing military operations. In that example, Waltz used the Signal Chat app. This has been used in other cases to discuss sensitive national security issues. Furthermore, it was revealed that Waltz had left behind confidential information. Published on his Venmo account Same thing.
Despite growing concerns about all disclosure and security vulnerabilities, President Donald Trump is standing by the Waltz and has not fired any officials involved in the leak, including the Secretary of Defense.
Instead, the administration attacked reporter Jeffrey Goldberg. Jeffrey Goldberg has been added to the chat. White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt I chased Goldberg’s family was spinning on behalf of the Trump administration.
That’s the Trump administration It’s about to pass It is an early claim that leak stories and the incident on the issue are “closed.” But Congress leaders–Even some Republicans– Signed a request for response from the administration and called for an independent investigation into the scandal.
Waltz’s decision to use yet another service with significant security risks makes it clear that the case has not been closed. Questions continue to swirl about the possibility that the Trump administration’s actions put Americans at risk.
