U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell, AL-07, released the following statement on Tuesday:

“As a former member of the House Intelligence Committee, I was horrified to hear that officials at the highest levels of the Trump Administration were illegally texting highly classified information including war plans via Signal, a commercial phone application, putting our service members in harm’s way.
