Waltz Set Up At Least 20 Other Signal Group Chats

Raskin: Would it be problem for it to be standard practice to conduct sensitive foreign policy on a signal chat group… It just came out that Waltz’s team set up 20 signal group chats for crises across the world… I’m sure this will raise the question on whether or not he should… pic.twitter.com/oSNH0FyzgD
