A bombshell Washington Post report reveals that FBI agents who searched former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate last month found a document describing a foreign government's military defenses, including its nuclear capabilities.
The report did not identify the foreign government named in the document.
The Post's report highlights the concerns of U.S. intelligence officials about classified material that Trump kept in the home.
"I think it's such a sensitive area that there are categories and subcategories of that kind of information. Some of it is essentially Department of Defense information that falls under the classified system of law. And obviously, when you talk about special access and talk about the nuclear capability with a foreign military agency, those are types of things that the government in no way wants spread around," said Washington Post reporter Devlin Barrett during an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper.
The Post also reported that some of the seized documents detailed top-secret U.S. operations that are so closely guarded that many senior national security officials are kept in the dark about them. Only the president, some cabinet members, or a near-cabinet-level official could authorize other officials to know the details.
"So some of the FBI agents who were on the scene in Mar-a-Lago, they didn't even have the clearance that would allow them to look at these documents," said Cooper.
"Correct and not just the agents," replied Barrett. "Some of the federal prosecutors involved in this matter also didn't automatically have the clearance to look at some of these materials."
Trump took to his Truth Social platform on Tuesday morning to blast the search, saying in part,"not only did the FBI steal my passports in the FBI Raid and Break-In of my home, Mar-a-Lago, but it has just been learned through court filings that they also

These documents were SAFER at Mar-a-Lago than they are now at DOJ.
Sure they did.
And if it was this secret, why was the DOJ leaking it?

It would be interesting to guess the country, wouldn’t be too hard as there are only a handful with nuclear capabilities. And even fewer would be worth Trump keeping or that he would have any motivation to
It's North Korea. No one cares except Kim.
“A bombshell Washington Post report reveals that FBI agents who searched former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate last month found a document describing a foreign government’s military defenses, including its nuclear capabilities.”
How did its existence get to the Washington Post? Who is responsible for the leak? While in the possession of the D.O.J. does that office have the right to use the information in it as it sees fit?
Did this document’s existence ever leak while President Trump had possession of it? Apparently not. Obviously President Trump was more careful with this info than the current D.O.J.
Possibly a Mitch Rapp novel?
Release the Kraken!
Pull the Rip Cord!
My bet—it lists all the atomic weapons Israel has he would sell to Saudi Arabia or Iran for Billions. How horrible! Just proves Trump is a Nazi! He’s in it all for the Money! (like Biden). Shocking!
How do we know not planted?
Deep State Leaks.

John Harwood just cut back his pimping hours.
Who knows what the FBI might have taken or inserted into the document trove now.
DOJ and FBI keep digging their own hole. Few respect or trust them.
Nicole Lauren has spoken. In other news, Walter Cronkite publicly stated that he “sits at the right hand of Satan.” Wow. No person who understands dark forces would sit near them. Prayers for Nicole Lauren. https://youtu.be/w2isCEoEmN8
This is just another indication == and any citizen with a lick of sense now understands == that the FBI cannot be trusted. No way. No how.
And the post couldn’t even ask the simple question “why did you leak this at this particular time?” Perhaps they should ask the DOJ to write the stories for them, as they don’t really employ reporters any longer.
Says who? Adam Schiff? Peter Strzok?
But probably not true at all. At best it mentions a country name.
