The letter, which was sent Wednesday by Rep. Ted Lieu (D-California) and Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Arizona), comes after recent media reports that Donald Trump is making "increased use" of his personal phone.
Last year, Trump reportedly had an iPhone with just one app on it: Twitter.
"While cybersecurity is a universal concern, the President of the United States stands alone as the single-most valuable intelligence target on the planet," the congressmen write.
The letter goes onto ask a number of questions of the White House Communications Agency, the entity responsible for the president’s infosec needs.
How frequently does the WHCA update the President’s phone’s operating system?
Does the President use encryption when he makes phone calls or texts from his personal cell phone?
How has WHCA adapted to the growing threat of "Stingray" devices, or IMSI catchers, in Washington D.C., especially given the President’s alleged proclivity for making outgoing voice calls on his personal cell phone?

Hmm.... Not sure how ironic you're trying to be. But I don't care quite as much about hookers and blow as I am that some career field agent or person who believes they're doing good by feeding information suddenly getting a bullet in the brain because the voice call made about it wasn't secure [cbsnews.com] and they intentionally didn't follow the rules for communications.
This sig for rent.

Hey, when they do it deliberately [nbcnews.com], they show they really don't care about anyone but themselves..
