Anthony Weiner is reportedly back on the app that got him in trouble.
The 56-year-old disgraced politician has allegedly rejoined the Confide, the secret messaging app that he had a months-long sexting relationship with a 15-year-old girl.
The app allows users to send messages that are encrypted for privacy and disappear right away.
Weiner called his 21-month prison sentence 'ridiculous.'
It leaves no digital trace behind.
Page Six reported the news -- users were reportedly shocked to see that Weiner had once again joined the app.
An unnamed Confide user told the outlet that they received a message last week reading, “New friend. Anthony Weiner joined Confide. Send Anthony a message now.”
According to Page Six, the person seemed to already have Weiner's private email stored in their phone, which is why they got the notification.
In 2016, the politician's affair with the underage girl was blown wide open by the Daily Mail.
Weiner used the app -- and others -- to send sexually graphic messages to the then 15-year-old girl.
