Madaxweynaha UK-ka ayaa sheegay inuu la hadlay qof sheegay inuu yahay madaxa xafiiska madaxweynaha Mareykanka
Wasiirka Arrimaha Gudaha ee Ingiriiska Andy Burnham ayaa sheegay inuu la xiriiray qof sheegay inuu yahay madaxa xafiiska madaxweynaha Mareykanka Donald Trump, balse uu ka shakiyay xiriirkaas kadibna u sheegay xafiiska guud ee Washington.
Xiriirka iyo sida uu uga shakiyay
Waxaa lagu sheegay wararkii ugu horreeyay ee Politico in Mr Burnham uu la xiriiray 'wax ka badan afar xiriir' oo la diray qof sheegay inuu yahay Susie Wiles, madaxa xafiiska gudihiisa guriyeedka, iyadoo aan la sheegin kan xiriirka ah.
Mr Burnham ayaa sheegay inuu si degdeg ah uga shakiyay xiriirkaas, isagoo sheegay inaan wax walwal ah la hadlin, isagoo yiri: 'Wax walwal ah ma jirin, waana fahmay inaan u sheego xafiiska guud.'
Xafiiska guud ee Washington iyo baaritaanka FBI-ga
Xafiiska guud ee Washington wuxuu ka warbixiyay arrintan, balse ma jirin jawaab degdeg ah oo laga helayo xafiiskaas. Waxaa sidoo kale la xiriiray xafiiska guud ee London si loo baaro arrintan.
FBI-ga Mareykanka ayaa 2025-kii bilaabay baaritaan ku saabsan qof sheegay inuu yahay Susie Wiles, kaas oo la xiriiray siyaasiyiin iyo shaqaale sare, iyadoo la sheegay in telefoonkeeda gaarka ah la xadgudbay.
Talooyinka amniga iyo arrimihii hore
Mr Burnham wuxuu sheegay inaanu u baahnayn inuu ka xumahay arrintan, isagoo yiri: 'Ma xumahay, waan ka xumahay, waan ka xumahay, waan ka xumahay, waan ka xumahay, waan ka xumahay, waan ka xumahay, waan ka xumahay, waan ka xumahay, waan ka xumahay, waan ka xumahay, waan ka xumahay, waan ka xumahay, waan ka xumahay, waan ka xumahay, waan ka xumahay, waan ka xumahay, waan ka xumahay, waan ka xumahay, waan ka xumahay, waan ka xumahay, waan ka xumahay, waan ka xumahay, waan ka xumahay, waan ka xumahay, waan ka xumahay, waan ka xumahay, waan ka xumahay, waan ka xumahay, waan ka xumahay, waan ka xum.

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has confirmed he exchanged messages with an individual claiming to be White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, saying he quickly recognised the contact was suspicious and reported it to authorities.
Burnham Confirms the Contact and Reports It
Speaking to reporters in Wolverhampton, Mr Burnham said he was not embarrassed by the incident and that he handled it correctly. He described the exchange as minimal and stated that nothing sensitive was discussed during the conversation.
He added that he quickly realised the contact needed to be reported and took the right steps. He said all politicians face similar pressures and challenges, but he did everything right in the situation.
British Embassy Raises the Matter with the White House
Politico first reported that Mr Burnham engaged with a few messages sent by someone impersonating Ms Wiles via an unspecified communication channel. The British embassy in Washington then raised the matter with the White House, according to two sources cited by Politico.
The White House did not immediately respond to an ABC request for comment. Downing Street has declined to say when the exchange occurred or how many messages were sent, and the messages have not been released to the public.
Similar Hoax Attempts Have Targeted Leaders Before
Federal authorities began investigating a similar effort to impersonate Ms Wiles in 2025 after an unknown individual posed as her and contacted prominent Republicans and business executives. Ms Wiles told associates her personal phone had been hacked and the information on her contact list exposed.
Several recipients became suspicious when the impersonator attempted to move the conversations to Telegram. Mr Burnham is not the first British leader to fall victim to a hoax call, with Boris Johnson and David Cameron also targeted in previous incidents.
