Photos reveal Trump cabinet member with a Signal app from less SEICAL APP Knockoff | Trump Administration

Photos, which were taken in Donald Trump's cabinet session this week, have shown that the officials of the White House are now communicating with an even less secure version of the Signal Messaging app than at the center of a huge national security scandal last month.

The pictures that Reuters took on Wednesday show the phone screen of Mike Waltz, the national security consultant that has since been stored, who has accidentally taken on a journalist in a group chat last month in which the top US officials discussed operational plans to bomb Yemen bombing, which were then carried out as described.

In the new photographs, the Waltz screen shows news between him and contacts that seem to be the Vice President. Marco Rubio, the Foreign Minister, who has now replaced Waltz as a reigning national security advisor; Tulsi Gabard, director of the National Secret Service; And Steve Witkoff, the special envoy of the President in the Middle East, who played a key role in negotiations with Vladimir Putin on Ukrainekrieg.

The Chat -App Waltz was used to be a modified version of Signal called TM SGNL, ​​which was produced by a company, copied the messaging apps, but adds the possibility to keep messages and archive. The officials of the White House may use the modified signal to meet the legal requirements that the president's records are retained.

The Outlet 404 Media reported that the app apparently is “a software from a company called Telemessage, which creates the clone of popular messaging apps, but adds each of them to an archiving function”.

This function suggests that the end-to-end encryption, which makes signal for sharing private communication trust, may not be maintained, since the messages can later be called up later, according to 404 media.

The photo does not show a large part of the news of the news that Waltz has likely to send the Foreign Minister to “Rubio”, as “there is time”, while a message from “Vance”-the Vice President reading: “I have confirmation from my counterpart, it will be switched off.”

There was also an indication that Waltz Signal had used to call Gabard, and that the telephone planning function contained a meeting at 8 a.m. for “PDB”, probably the president's daily letter.

On Thursday, before the photo was widespread, Trump Waltz removed him from his job as a national security advisor, named him UN ambassador and temporarily put Rubio in his place.

When asked about the latest photos, a spokesman for the White House of the Washington Post said: “As we have said many times, Signal is an approved app for the use of the government and is invited to government telephones.”
