Gabbard would not say if she was using a personal phone or government:
Gabbard declined to say whether she was using her private or her government phone for the leaked text exchanges on Signal, telling Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., that she would refrain from saying more pending a government review of the episode.
Reed said he was puzzled by her answer. “What is under review? It’s a very simple question: Were you using a private phone or officially issued phone? What could be under review?”
Gabbard replied, “The National Security Council is reviewing all aspects of how this came to be, how the journalist was inadvertently added to the group chat and what occurred within that chat across the board.”
A Senate hearing spotlighted the defense secretary’s decision to share sensitive information on a messenger app generally not authorized for government communications.

I see a conspiracy theory around the board that Gates is a mole for having Goldberg in his phone. Here, I'll run a counter-conspiracy. Gates has fed Goldberg false information for the administration so the administration can do their "they are lying about us" schtick.
See how easy this is. Now someone, prove it wrong?
