They donât want to comply with government communition laws so they use signal instead.

Sure, they can vet the source code, but it seems more straightforward for the government to develop their own app than create a team to vet the security if something that they didnât write. Signal is also relatively new, and they had to have a way to discuss these things beforehand.

Thatâs what Buttigieg indicated. There are secure means of communicating classified information, with a process for ensuring people with clearance are the only ones allowed to view this information. I imagine those rules are in place exactly for this reason, to prevent accidental leaks.
The rookies that Trump hired probably didnât see the harm in doing it in this way, I mean come on, Signal is secure so what is there to worry about?
Who knows what else has been leaked to the wrong people accidentally.
