Every single national security cabinet-level principal, whether you're the national security advisor or the secretary of defense or the director of national intelligence or the secretary of state, they travel everywhere they go with a secure communications package. These are people who set up for them secure phones, secure videos, secure document handling capacity. So that's always with us.

a cabinet-level principle if they're traveling. The fact that they wouldn't use it if they had it is mind-boggling. Secondly, in everybody's home in the Washington area, there are secure compartmented facilities in their homes where they can go and communicate by phone, by email, by video securely. So we do that for a reason.

We do not communicate national security information or have principals committee meetings by signal text chat. It's not a secure vehicle. You're not allowed to put them on your government phones. It's not for classified information. And since these were all done on people's personal phones, highly vulnerable to infiltration and exfiltration by our adversaries.

So just the mere fact of having a principles committee meeting by text on a signal chain is incredibly reckless and dangerous. Then you share information. Classified discussions about military plans and operations and then classified military documents about those plans and operations on this chat. It's extraordinarily reckless, dangerous, and in my recollection, unprecedented.

Unless, no, there's no, yes, the Russians have whatever Witkoff was doing or saying on his personal cell phone. The way Witkoff should have handled this and the way this meeting should have been conducted is Witkoff should have gone into the U.S. Embassy in Moscow and gone into their secure compartment facility and conducted his participation by videoconference.

That's how this whole thing should have happened. There should never have been a signal chat used as the vehicle for a discussion that involved anything sensitive regarding national security. The Russians undoubtedly have it.

In the normal course, this would be the subject of a gazillion congressional investigations that took months, if not years, and went through every aspect of this with a fine-tooth comb on a bipartisan basis. That's how it would normally happen. And people would be held accountable. In a normal administration, if the National Security Advisor and the Secretary of Defense
