Trump's Mobile Security

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. TED LIEU of California. Mr. Speaker, I thank Congressman Gallego for his comments.

Both of us served Active Duty in the United States military-- Congressman Gallego served in combat--and we both know that one of the most important things to our military is operational security and protecting our communications and making sure that they are secure.

Donald Trump is the Commander in Chief of our military. If there is anyone that needs to have their communications secure, it has got to be our Commander in Chief.

Unfortunately, the President and the Republicans here that enable him are allowing him to have unsecured communications. That is really going to be harmful to our national security.

This is not some sort of theoretical flaw that exists. The Federal Communications Commission has issued a report saying that this flaw where foreign powers can listen in on our cell phone communications is real, it exists.

People have used it not just to listen in, but also to do nefarious things. A bank earlier this year lost millions of dollars because of this flaw.

So, again, we urge the President and the Republicans here to change the President's behavior, to do oversight on this issue.

Mr. Speaker, I am going to conclude this segment. I thank you for listening.

I yield back the balance of my time.
