Trump’s Email Use Sparks Outrage, Hypocrisy Claims
Despite established protocols offering secure government communication systems, President-elect Trump’s transition team is utilizing private servers and devices, raising concerns among federal officials about potential security breaches. This decision, confirmed by the transition team, bypasses government-issued cybersecurity support and raises anxieties, particularly given recent foreign hacking attempts targeting key officials. The team cites unspecified security measures as sufficient, while experts warn of the vulnerability of transition teams to foreign intelligence gathering. This situation contrasts sharply with the intense scrutiny of Hillary Clinton’s email practices during the 2016 election, highlighting the perceived hypocrisy surrounding the issue.
