Ranking Member Thompson: Trump Administration Leak of Top Secret National Security Plans Shows Recklessness and Incompetence
(WASHINGTON) – Today, Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS), Ranking Member of the Committee on Homeland Security, released the below statement on the Trump Administration’s leak of top secret national security and intelligence matters on an unclassified phone application:
“It should go without saying that Trump administration officials must not use Signal for discussing sensitive intelligence matters reserved for the situation room – and doing so including members of the public is gross incompetence. This outrageous act puts our service members, our Intelligence Community, and our homeland at risk – and is just the latest example of the Trump Administration’s reckless approach to national security. This breach must be fully investigated by the FBI.”
