House Speaker Mike Johnson revealed in an interview that he does not use Signal, an encrypted messaging app, claiming he prefers traditional texting to communicate with fellow GOP members. With about 400 messages received daily, he jokingly suggested that his texts might be monitored by foreign entities like Russia. This highlights a broader concern regarding the security of SMS communication versus encrypted platforms like Signal, particularly in the wake of a recent controversy where prominent officials were involved in a miscommunication event on the app.
A lot of them text. That's our main means of communication.
I get about 400 a day literally just from members.
Probably being monitored by the Russians, for all I know.
I would frankly tell these people not to use Signal.
