"WASHINGTON — When President Trump calls old friends on one of his
iPhones to gossip, gripe or solicit their latest take on how he is
doing, American intelligence reports indicate that Chinese spies are
often listening — and putting to use invaluable insights into how to
best work the president and affect administration policy, current and
former American officials said.

Mr. Trump’s aides have repeatedly warned him that his cellphone calls
are not secure, and they have told him that Russian spies are routinely
eavesdropping on the calls, as well. But aides say the voluble
president, who has been pressured into using his secure White House
landline more often these days, has still refused to give up his
iPhones. White House officials say they can only hope he refrains from
discussing classified information when he is on them.

Mr. Trump’s use of his iPhones was detailed by several current and
former officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity so they could
discuss classified intelligence and sensitive security arrangements. The
officials said they were doing so not to undermine Mr. Trump, but out of
frustration with what they considered the president’s casual approach to
electronic security.

American spy agencies, the officials said, had learned that China and
Russia were eavesdropping on the president’s cellphone calls from human
sources inside foreign governments and intercepting communications
between foreign officials."

Gee. If he's found guilty of using his private iPhone to discuss
matters that may be classified, what should be done?

Charge him for using unsecure, non-government "devices"?
Subpoena all records of his calls and any emails or text
messages, but warn him not to destroy them first?

Seems a precedent has been established for this "crime".
