President Trump is still using his trusty old Android phone for early morning tweet storms — and California Congressman Ted Lieu wants to put a stop to it. That's because consumer-grade Android phones, especially if they're dated like the one that Trump is reportedly using, can easily be hacked.
In the month since he took office, Donald Trump has refused to drop his Samsung S3 in favor of the standard secured phone.
U.S. President Donald Trump's aging smartphone – that he often uses to send his fiery tweets – should be investigated for security reasons, said one U.S. congressman.
On Friday, Democratic Congressman Ted Lieu from California presented a letter to the House Oversight Committee requesting an "investigation of Trump's reckless disregard for cybersecurity."
"Cybersecurity experts universally agree that an ordinary Android phone, which the President is reportedly using despite repeated warnings from the Secret Service, can be easily hacked," Lieu wrote in the letter, which was also signed by 14 other Congressional members.
Despite universal warnings from security experts in and out of government, Donald Trump is apparently continuing to use an insecure, off-the-shelf Android phone.
