WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz received emails via his personal email account but has never used that account to send classified material, the White House said after The Washington Post reported Waltz and other National Security Council members used Gmail for government work.

The Post on Tuesday said Waltz and other NSC members used the Alphabet Inc-owned commercial email service to conduct government business, a week after the Trump administration's security practices came under bipartisan criticism following its use of the Signal messaging app to coordinate military action in Yemen.
