China, Russia angle in Signal chat leak (x/@htTweets)
Right-wing commentator Laura Loomer on Wednesday proposed that there may be a potential 'China link' to the current Signal chat leak controversy that is agonizing the Trump administration. The 31-year-old mentioned principal deputy national security advisor Alex Wong's wife Candice Chiu, whose parents were employed in Hong Kong.
Loomer, however, failed to produce any tangible evidence supporting her argument. Laura Loomer's tweet followed days after The Atlantic's editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg broke the news that senior Trump officials accidentally added him to a Signal group where possible plans for strikes against Houthis were being debated. Vice President JD Vance and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt labeled Goldberg's accusations as a 'hoax'. National Security adviser Mike Waltz accepted full responsibility, acknowledging that 'we made a mistake'.
Die-hard Trump supporter Loomer posted about Waltz's aide Alex Wong's reported China connection. Wong 'is married to U.S. Attorney Candice Chiu Wong, a Chinese Woman who was one of the principal attorneys who PROSECUTED J6ers,' she posted. I learned that Alex's wife, Candice Chiu Wong, served in the Obama administration and the Biden administration as an Assistant United States Attorney in the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia, where she oversaw the Violence Reduction and Trafficking Offenses Section for over two years," Loomer continued on X, site previously called Twitter.
Some social media users pointed out that Trump's Special Envoy to the Middle East and Ukraine, Steve Witkoff, was in Moscow when he was added to the Signal chat group. CBS News used open-source flight data and Russian media reporting to verify the same.
