White House Reviewing Mystery YouTube Livestream That Appeared on Official Site

Officials are assessing whether the unexpected video on the live page resulted from a hack or an internal mistake.

Overview

  • The video, a segment from Matt Farley (@RealMattMoney) discussing investments, surfaced on whitehouse.gov/live late Thursday.
  • It was visible for at least eight minutes on the webpage typically used to carry presidential livestreams.
  • The White House did not immediately comment, and reporting indicates the administration is aware of the incident and is looking into how it occurred.
  • Farley expressed surprise on X, said he was just trying to stream with friends, and indicated he had not been contacted by the government.
  • The unexplained appearance has refocused attention on recent digital-security problems, including a May probe into impersonation messages tied to Susie Wiles and an Iran-linked hack of Trump’s campaign last year.
