Mike Waltz’s Public Venmo Transactions Raise National Security Concerns
Mike Waltz, a national security advisor, has sparked concerns after his Venmo transactions were found to be publicly visible. This revelation came to light through multiple reports, highlighting transactions that included payments to journalists and others, raising questions about potential security breaches.
The issue was first noted by Gizmodo, which reported on the advisor's Venmo friends list being public. Further investigations by The Prospect and The Guardian detailed specific transactions that Waltz had made, which were visible to anyone browsing the app. CBS News also covered the story, focusing on the implications of such public exposure on national security, particularly given Waltz's role in sensitive matters such as Yemen policy.
The exposure of these transactions has led to a broader discussion on the security protocols for government officials and the use of private applications like Venmo. Critics argue that such lapses could potentially be exploited by foreign entities to gain insights into the personal networks and financial dealings of key figures in national security.
