    Sure, but that’s not a scandal. You could call Trump’s Twitter follower list the same thing.

      Twitter followers don’t imply monetary interaction. Venmo does.

      Right? Maybe I’m missing it.

        Nah, Venmo contacts are often based off of your phone contacts. So that’s probably just a list of people he has saved to his phone (who also have Venmo).

        And even if you did have to pay someone for them to show up, it still doesn’t seem like much of a scandal. It’s not like someone in the contact list was “drug dealer” or something. Who cares if he venmo’d a coworker $20 for lunch?

        Idk man. Like, leaking your phone’s contact list probably isn’t the best thing ever, but it’s hardly a huge deal imo.

          For the national defense secretary? (Edit: sorry, “national security advisor”) It really kinda is, though.
