WSJ: Signal may have been with Witkoff in Moscow, White House responds to accusations

A new scandal has erupted in the security world involving the popular messaging app Signal. It turned out that a chat discussing political views and situations involving Mr. Trump and his associate Steve Witkoff may have been with him in Moscow. This was reported by the WSJ, citing sources, writes UNN.

Details

According to sources, Russian security forces may have gained access to private discussions, including discussions of Trump officials' views on European allies. This security breach calls into question the reliability of such platforms, even with their reputation for reliability and encryption.

The publication emphasizes that this security breach has not yet been widely publicized, but the discussion raises the question of whether it is worth trusting such platforms, given the potential threats to their protection.

Later, the White House reacted to the article.

Witkoff received a secure line of communication from the US government, and this was the only phone he had while in Moscow. If the Wall Street Journal's editorial board cared about the truth, they could have contacted our team for comment before publishing this lie.

"These are classic fake news from a publication that is clearly intent on undermining Steve Witkoff, a great patriot who is working effectively on behalf of President Trump to ensure peace around the world," the White House added.

The White House also said that The Atlantic admitted that the secret Signal chat did not discuss US war plans.

Atlantic admitted: These were NOT "war plans". This whole story was another hoax written by a Trump hater who is well known for his sensational performances.

Recall

The editor of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, reported that he was accidentally added to a chat in Signal, where he witnessed a discussion of future attacks on Houthi targets in Yemen.
