Waltz’s Leaked Signal Chats Reveal GOP’s Shadow Communication Network
Fired National Security Advisor Mike Waltz’s tenure ended after a photograph revealed his use of Signal, an unapproved messaging app, during his final cabinet meeting. The image showed ongoing communications with Vice President JD Vance and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, further highlighting security concerns. This incident follows a previous leak where Waltz mistakenly included a journalist in a sensitive group chat, contributing to his short 101-day term. Despite White House Communications Director Steven Cheung’s defense of Signal’s use, Waltz’s repeated lapses ultimately led to his dismissal and subsequent appointment as UN ambassador.
