(Source: Trending Politics)
Dozens of senators have been provided with satellite phones for emergency communications, as revealed by those clsoe to CBS News. These gadgets form part of a range of fresh security provisions made available to senators by the Senate Sergeant at Arms, who assumed office shortly following the U.S. Capitol attack on January 6, 2021.
All 100 senators have been offered this satellite phone technology. Information received by CBS News indicates that at least half have accepted these devices, which the Senate administrative team advises senators to carry with them during their journeys.
In her testimony to the Senate Appropriations Committee last month, Senate Sergeant at Arms Karen Gibson indicated that satellite communication is being utilized “to provide a secure and backup mode of communication during a crisis situation.”
Many are worried a cyber attack prior to the 2024 election would be used to justify changes in voting procedures that will benefit Joe Biden
Today we learned that US Senators are being issued special satellite phones for this exact scenario
