US EditionMike Waltz Was Using Signal During Cabinet Meeting
- On April 30, 2025, Mike Waltz, then U.S. National security advisor, was photographed using the TeleMessage Signal app during a White House cabinet meeting.
- This event followed reports that Waltz and other senior officials used encrypted Signal messaging to coordinate a March military strike in Yemen, raising security and compliance concerns.
- TeleMessage, an Israeli-founded company acquired by U.S.-based Smarsh in 2024, provides a mobile archiver tool that records messages despite Signal's end-to-end encryption.
- Waltz admitted, "I built the group," and Trump defended the app's use as "approved," while an investigation into potential record retention violations continues.
- Following the controversy, Trump announced Waltz's move to U.N. Ambassador and named Marco Rubio interim national security advisor, while debates on operational security persist.
