Bill > HRes265

This resolution condemns the Trump administration for using the messaging platform Signal to communicate highly sensitive or potentially classified information about a United States military operation, which potentially exposes national security details to foreign adversaries. The resolution specifically criticizes multiple high-ranking officials, including the Vice President, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of State, Director of National Intelligence, and others, for using an unauthorized and potentially unsecured communication method. The resolution calls for multiple actions, including a comprehensive review of communication procedures, an investigation into potential federal law violations, accountability for administration members who may have improperly handled classified information, and a strict mandate that classified information must only be discussed within a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF). The resolution highlights previous instances of foreign adversaries like China and Russia attempting to access sensitive U.S. information and emphasizes the potential risks to national security and military personnel by using unsecured communication channels like Signal for discussing sensitive operational details.
