The use of Gmail is the latest example of questionable data security practices by top national security officials.

National security adviser Michael Waltz has had less sensitive, but potentially exploitable information sent to his Gmail , officials say.

Waltz 's creation of a Signal group chat that discussed sensitive information has rankled the president and frustrated Cabinet members.

National Security Adviser Mike Waltz added liberal journalist Jeff Goldberg to confidential group chat.

White House officials have found Waltz 's denials increasingly hard to believe.

Waltz said Goldberg 's contact information was “sucked into’s phone somehow” and that he has never met or talked to the journalist.
