Just days after a Signal chat leak exposed the Trump administration’s casual handling of classified military plans, another breach has come to light: National Security Adviser Mike Waltz and his aides have been using personal Gmail accounts to conduct official communications involving sensitive defense information.

According to The Washington Post, a senior aide to Waltz engaged in detailed exchanges over Gmail with officials at other agencies. These discussions reportedly included technical details of powerful weapons systems and military positioning—communications that should never have occurred outside secure government channels. Other participants in the threads were using official .gov accounts, making the use of a personal address all the more alarming.

The breach mirrors the earlier Signal scandal in which Waltz and other senior Trump officials accidentally included a journalist in a chat discussing planned strikes in Yemen. That incident is under congressional investigation, with Democrats calling it the most serious national security lapse in recent memory.

This latest revelation deepens concerns about the Trump administration’s disregard for protocol and national security norms. Despite years of Republican outrage over Hillary Clinton’s private server, current officials appear to be repeating—and escalating—the same offenses, this time while in active wartime decision-making roles.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries called Waltz “totally unqualified” and demanded accountability, stating, “If a government intern had done this, they’d be fired by now.”

The White House has not yet issued a response. Meanwhile, the chorus of national security experts warning of systemic failure in Trump’s inner circle grows louder by the day.
