Signal isnt a prohibited messaging platform and is actually required to be used by Members and their staff when they travel abroad with travel work phones.
That’s not accurate. Congress may choose to use Signal informally, but it’s not required anywhere in federal policy. And for the Department of Defense it’s the opposite. Signal is prohibited for transmitting non-public DoD information. That’s why the IG explicitly ruled the SecDef’s Signal use a policy violation. This isn’t about travel phones. It’s about war-fighting communications happening on an unapproved, auto-deleting app.
