If the CIA approves of Signal for use internally - particularly the use case of communicating with CIA personnel in the field - this likely means the NSA gave them a thumbs up. So this implies that bare minimum no other intelligence agency can defeat Signal's encryption. Does that mean the NSA can't either? Up for debate I guess, but quite likely no for them as well.
