National Security Advisor Michael Waltz Faces Scrutiny Over Use of Personal Gmail for Government Communications

The National Security Council defended NSA Michael Waltz, stating he only received emails on his personal Gmail and has never sent classified material through unsecured channels. This follows a Washington Post report alleging that one of Waltz's senior aides conducted sensitive government discussions over personal Gmail accounts. Critics of the administration have drawn comparisons to past controversies involving former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's email practices, expressing concern over the security implications of conducting official business via commercial email.
