This is basically that already. The issue is using phones at all for communicating such sensitive information because phones can be hacked and a hacked phone leaks everything regardless of what app you use
A government hosted service would have to be in compliance with record keeping requirements. Conversations like this chat group are subject to the presidential records act and would need to be kept in case of future FOIA requests.
Signal does not do that. In fact, Signal can’t do that (because they can’t see the messages). So using Signal instead of proper government communications channels is a deliberate way to not leave a paper trail. Almost like they think they have something to hide.
