Congressman Suhas Subramanyam Issues Statement in Response to Discovery of 20+ Signal Group Chats Used by White House National Security Team for Crisis Response to Global Affairs

Washington D.C. – Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Military and Foreign Affairs Congressman Suhas Subramanyam said: 

“It’s clear the Administration is using third party apps like Signal and Gmail on private devices to communicate sensitive and national security information. This is widespread behavior that is happening at every level of the Administration's national security team and it puts out servicemembers and all Americans at risk. 

I have repeatedly called for an investigation and a briefing into this matter. We need to know the full extent of the damage the Administration is doing, what vulnerabilities they are creating, and what the Administration is doing to fix it and keep us safe. The American people deserve answers. 

The Administration refuses to take this systemic risk seriously and fully believes it has done nothing wrong. For that reason, Secretary Hegseth and National Security Advisor Waltz should resign, and the Administration should make wholesale changes to fix this issue. 

Our servicemembers and their families deserve better.”
