**WHITE HOUSE LEFT SCRATCHING ITS HEAD AFTER RANDOM YOUTUBER'S STREAM BECOMES FEATURED ON ITS WEBSITE**
The usually tight-lipped halls of the White House were left in a state of confusion on Friday after it was discovered that an unexpected entity had somehow managed to infiltrate its official website: a random YouTuber.
According to reports from Bloomberg, the executive branch is now launching an investigation into how @RealMattMoney's livestream suddenly showed up on its "Live News" section. The bizarre incident has left many wondering if it was the result of a hack or simply an accidental post.
The stream, hosted by 34-year-old Matt Farley (@RealMattMoney), featured him sitting at his typical streaming setup, wearing gaming headphones and a dark gray t-shirt, as seen in this screenshot from Bloomberg. An overlay on the video showed his stream chat, where viewers praised his analysis. Beneath the video window, the stream's title promised "no mid-stream ads," along with a $10 discount for clicking on a link to "StreamYard."
The livestream appeared and disappeared on the White House website around 11:45 PM Thursday, according to Bloomberg's reporting. Farley himself claims he had no idea about the incident, tweeting "There's no way this is real, right? I was just trying to stream with my buddies." when informed of the situation.
As it turns out, @RealMattMoney is a self-proclaimed "shepherd for individual investors" who offers advice to his audience. In addition to streaming, he works as a petroleum engineer in Texas and is even a fan of President Trump. When asked by Bloomberg about the opportunity to be featured on the White House website, Farley quipped, "Had I known I would be on the White House page, I would probably have dressed a little differently."
Farley went on to say that if he had known his stream was going to appear on the official White House website, he would have given a different message than personal finance. He even jokingly requested to meet with President Trump, saying "Let me meet the @POTUS."
The incident is not without precedence, however, as it comes amidst a string of cybersecurity gaffes by the Trump administration. One notable example includes secretary of defense Pete Hegseth accidentally leaking secret bombing plans in an unsecure group chat.
While the White House has yet to comment on how the stream ended up on its website, one thing is certain: @RealMattMoney's five minutes of fame are unlikely to be forgotten anytime soon.
