Dems request threat assessment over Trump's cell phone usage
Source: The Hill
Democratic senators are requesting that the intelligence community conduct a threat assessment on President Trump's cell phone usage, asking if he's compromised classified information.
Democratic Sens. Martin Heinrich (N.M.), Ron Wyden (Ore.), Dick Durbin (Ill.) and Dianne Feinstein (Calif.) sent a letter Thursday to Bill Evanina, Trump's counterintelligence chief, asking if information has or could be stolen by foreign governments.
"We are especially concerned about recent reporting that President Trump has eschewed the advice of counterintelligence experts and opted to use unsecured commercial devices for telephone calls and internet use. We believe this conduct is reckless and could endanger sensitive U.S. national security interests," the Democratic senators wrote.
Politico reported last month that Trump was going "rouge" on his phone security by using a White House cell phone to tweet, a phone it said that does not have the same level of security as his predecessors. Democrats also raised a red flag about the cell phone Trump uses to make calls having a camera and microphone, arguing such features "could be used to spy on the President and listen in on classified national security discussions."

so Vlad can monitor what he's doing and then instruct him on what to do next.
