Unfortunately for Team Trump, political controversies can sometimes persist, even as some of those involved try to move on. The Washington Post reported:

Members of President Donald Trump’s National Security Council, including White House national security adviser Michael Waltz, have conducted government business over personal Gmail accounts, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post and interviews with three U.S. officials.

The Post’s report hasn’t been independently verified by MSNBC or NBC News, and national security council spokesperson said after the original article was published that Waltz “has never sent classified material over his personal email account or any unsecured platform.”

Nevertheless, the allegations — which obviously have some notable parallels to the 2016 hysteria surrounding former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s email protocols — don’t do the beleaguered White House national security advisor any favors. There’s the surface-level problem, involving the accusation that Waltz conducted government business over personal email, coupled with the related problem that some of his colleagues apparently wanted the Washington Post to know about all of this.

Indeed, let’s not lose sight of the larger pattern. The day after the revelations raised by the Post, Politico reported that Waltz’s team “regularly set up chats on Signal to coordinate official work ... according to four people who have been personally added to Signal chats.”.....

The revelations about Waltz are notable in their own right, but just as important is the story behind the stories: There are insiders willing to talk to news organizations about Waltz’s troubles, which is never a good sign for an official feeling political heat.

There are a good number of Pentagon insiders leaking information on Hegseth. See https://democraticunderground.com/100220193371 It seems that Waltz has a good number of people leaking on him. This will be fun to watch
