Another day, another leak.
President Trump’s National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and others in the National Security Council have used Gmail to conduct official government business according to a leak to The Washington Post.
Mike Waltz is already under fire for adding The Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg to a Signal chat group with high-ranking Trump Administration officials discussing the successful attack on Houthi terrorists in Yemen.
According to The Post, Mike Waltz did not transmit classified information over his Gmail account – unlike Hillary Clinton while she was the head of the Department of State.
The Washington Post reported:
Members of President Donald Trump’s National Security Council, including White House national security adviser Michael Waltz, have conducted government business over personal Gmail accounts, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post and interviews with three U.S. officials.
The use of Gmail, a far less secure method of communication than the encrypted messaging app Signal, is the latest example of questionable data security practices by top national security officials already under fire for the mistaken inclusion of a journalist in a group chat about high-level planning for military operations in Yemen.
A senior Waltz aide used the commercial email service for highly technical conversations with colleagues at other government agencies involving sensitive military positions and powerful weapons systems relating to an ongoing conflict, according to emails reviewed by The Post. While the NSC official used his Gmail account, his interagency colleagues used government-issued accounts, headers from the email correspondence show.
Waltz has had less sensitive, but potentially exploitable information sent to his Gmail, such as his schedule and other work documents, said officials, who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe what they viewed as problematic handling of information. The officials said Waltz would sometimes copy and paste from his schedule into Signal to coordinate meetings and discussions.
The media is yet again attacking President Trump’s NatSec Advisor, however they downplayed reports of Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Barack Obama’s use of Gmail and unsecured servers to conduct official government business.
Too bad Biden didn’t ask Hillary Clinton’s advice on how to use BleachBit.
