National security adviser Mike Waltz reportedly used his personal Gmail account for government communications, adding to a growing list of digital security failures in President Donald Trump’s administration.
Waltz, along with at least one senior aide to Waltz, used the commercial service instead of their government-issued email, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.
Interviews with several anonymous U.S. officials, along with documents reviewed by The Post, revealed that Waltz used his Gmail account to send his schedule and other work documents. Officials added that Waltz would also copy and paste from his schedule into the messaging app Signal to coordinate meetings.
More alarming, a senior aide to Waltz reportedly also used Gmail to send more sensitive information. More from the Post:
