The use of personal cell phones will be prohibited in the West Wing starting next week, the White House announced on Thursday, Jan. 4, citing security concerns.

“The security and integrity of the technology systems at the White House is a top priority for the Trump administration and therefore starting next week the use of all personal devices for both guests and staff will no longer be allowed in the West Wing,” White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement on Thursday.
