President Trump’s team is standing strong against another media-driven scandal, this time over a Signal chat that Democrats and the press are falsely calling a security crisis. Rep. Brian Mast blasted the controversy as a “nothingburger” on NEWSMAX’s “National Report,” calling it a distraction from the administration’s strong record of keeping America safe.
The chat included top officials like Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth discussing military plans for Yemen, but Mast and others argue no classified details were leaked. The White House confirmed the messages were real but stressed no “war plans” or sensitive locations were shared. Experts admit the app’s encryption is among the most secure, and Trump himself praised Signal as a trusted tool used by the military.
Democrats are pushing for investigations, claiming the chat endangered troops. But Mast says this is just another attempt to smear Trump’s team. The left wants you to think this is like Hillary’s emails, but here’s the difference: Trump’s officials didn’t hide anything. They used a secure app approved for government use, unlike Biden’s team, which reportedly restricted Signal over phantom fears.
The media’s obsession with this story shows their bias. The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg, a known Trump critic, spun routine military planning into a scandal. Meanwhile, the same outlets ignored Hunter Biden’s laptop or the border crisis. The double standard is glaring.
Trump’s national security adviser Mike Waltz slammed the hype, pointing out the chat didn’t include classified intel. Even NSA Director Gen. Timothy Haugh admitted Signal is safe if used properly. The real story isn’t the app—it’s how the left and media invent crises to attack conservatives.
Mast is right: this “scandal” proves Trump’s team is getting things done. While Democrats hyperventilate over texts, the administration stopped terrorist threats in Yemen and kept Americans safe. That’s what matters—not fake outrage from the same people who let Afghanistan fall to the Taliban.
Remember when Obama’s team used private email servers for classified info? The media gave them a pass. Now they’re clutching pearls over encrypted messages that didn’t compromise security. It’s pure politics, and voters see through it.
The bottom line? This isn’t about national security. It’s about the left fearing Trump’s success. Mast and NEWSMAX are cutting through the noise, reminding Americans that strong leadership beats manufactured scandals every time.
