President Donald Trump boosted a vague conspiracy targeting the CEO of NPR, who also happens to sit on the board of Signal, as his administration continues to grapple with the fallout of a major intelligence leak on the messaging app.

Trump reposted Sunday an X user’s claim of a “Signal scandal”: “Katherine Maher, the leftist NPR CEO, is currently the Chair of the Board of Signal!” an account called Publius wrote. “WHAT ARE THE ODDS?”

Publius published a series of posts detailing Maher’s professional background, listing her membership in the State Department’s Foreign Affairs Policy Board and her stints at the National Democratic Institute, World Bank, and UNICEF.

“She’s donated to Democrats like Biden. And, of course, just happens to be the Chair of the Board of Signal Foundation,” the user wrote, calling on Secretary of State Marco Rubio to probe what policies Maher pushed.

2. If Signal is so terribly leftist, why does Project 2025 endorse it for government use?

Answer: They use it to avoid scrutiny. Signal erases itself so whatever happens cannot be reviewed.

Official channels require official records, and these children don't want any paper records, any electronic records, any fingerprints that can be used by investigators to figure out what the hell is going on.

This is a deliberate strategy to cover criminal activity. It is a premeditated and deliberate attack on our laws performed by people with criminal intent.
