U.S. Representative Salud Carbajal (D-CA-24), Senior Member of the House Armed Services Committee, released the following statement on the heels of new reporting revealing National Security Advisor Mike Waltz’s extensive use of Signal to communicate highly sensitive national security information. “This new reporting confirms my concern that the Trump Administration’s previous mishandling of sensitive information was not a one-time error but a troubling pattern of negligence,” said Rep. Carbajal. “These sloppy and careless actions are irresponsible and undermine the safety of our servicemembers. The Administration must be held accountable for its consistent disregard for protecting sensitive and classified information. We cannot allow this reckless conduct to continue.” On March 27, 2025, Rep. Carbajal led a group of 69 House Democrats in a letter to National Security Advisor Michael Waltz, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio over the incredible incompetence displayed by their use of Signal to communicate highly sensitive national security information. |
