Rep. Lieu Slams Trump For Asking World Leaders To Call On Cellphone

Dear @realDonaldTrump: This is very stupid. Foreign intel can monitor cell conversations using SS7 flaw. Look it up. https://t.co/LgTrKXJpxv

Lieu linked to an Associated Press story in the Los Angeles Times, which reported Trump had been handing out his cellphone number to world leaders and urging them to call directly.

Trump’s calls are vulnerable to eavesdropping, particularly from foreign governments — even if he used his government issued-cellphone, according to security experts, AP reported.
