The White House said a New York Times article reporting that American spy agencies had detected Russian and Chinese eavesdropping on phone calls placed by US President Donald Trump on one of his iPhones included “inaccurate information”. 

“He has one official government iPhone,” White House spokesman Hogan Gidley said in a statement Oct 25. “This phone security follows industry best practices and is closely managed under government supervision in conjunction with recommendations from industry partners.”
