The allegations against former US President Donald Trump are getting more serious. After a search of his property in Mar-a-Lago, not only were numerous sensitive documents found, but increasingly it appears that these are not only top secret, but also very sensitive. As is now known, he may also have stored documents about nuclear weapons from another country.
It was not clear what state it was in, the “Washington Post” reported Tuesday evening (local time), citing informed circles. Shortly after the operation at Trump’s estate in August, the newspaper reported that the FBI’s federal police were also there looking for classified documents about nuclear weapons. Trump called it a “hoax”.
Few would have access to such documents
The paper now wrote that some of the documents seized from Trump contained information so sensitive and usually so well protected that even many senior national security officials had no access to it. Only the president and some cabinet members could authorize other government officials to learn details of it.
For some covert US operations, only a few dozen people in the entire government apparatus are authorized to even know of their existence. Records of this would normally be kept in secure facilities, under the supervision of an inspector.
Some with the highest level of secrecy
On August 8, the FBI searched Trump’s home in Mar-a-Lago, Florida. Task forces seized numerous boxes containing more than 100 confidential documents, some of which were subject to the highest levels of security. Because Trump kept the papers on his private estate after his term in office, he may have broken the law. This is now being investigated.
Trump: Politically motivated investigation
Trump criticized the authorities’ actions as politically motivated. For weeks, the Republican has fueled speculation that he could run for a second term in the 2024 presidential election. As early as May, the FBI had checked 15 boxes of documents that Trump sent to the National Archives after long urging from Mar-a-Lago. had sent.
The officials found 184 confidential documents of different classification levels. Shortly thereafter, following a court order, Trump’s team turned over 38 more classified documents to the FBI, including 17 marked “top secret.” In all, there are certainly more than 300 classified documents that Trump kept with him.
