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

DOJ Leak of the Week.
and... it might well be true in some fashion or other.
It’s so top secret they leaked it to Jeff Bozos and the Compost 😏
The DNC Legal operatives at the Department of Jesters, hard at work, leaking info.
If such a document that was that sensitive was somehow the subject of a security infraction or potential disclosure, mentioning that in any forum other than one of equivalent classification and among those who need to know is a security infraction of the highest order and anyone involved should be investigated and prosecuted, FBI and press.
“Bombshell,” “landmark,” “raises eyebrows.” So tired of these commie b*astard liars pimping Democrat thieves and criminals. The usual weasel words and phrases designed for idiots and loons.
Let me guess, “The walls are closing in...yada yada.”
Now these boxes were packed by the GSA. Could some material have been planted in one of the boxes for a raid down the road? My conspiracy theory for the day.
Are the walls closing in?
It is seeming more and more like Trump was the one who kept all these documents safe.
This smells like someone hired another golden shower artist
I wonder how “secret” that particular info is? Seems like I read articles rather frequently regarding friendly and enemy nuclear capabilities. We do know that the Biden admin seems to be working towards Iran increasing its nuclear capability.
The FIB found a piece of paper with the word Nuclear in it so they ran out to tell the media because they were getting bashed for early rumors and no Q documents were found.
My opinion, the document is the Iran Nuclear Deal..notice the rumors now is that the deal is OFF the table, I think it has something to do with this..Im betting dollars to donuts this supposed document is the Iranian Nuclear Deal..and we all have a right to see it!
cbsnews.com - t he most famous alumni is Dan Rather, Mr. Integrity. It’s sort of like USC - the most famous alumni is OJ Simpson. (Unless you count John Wayne.)
found a document describing a foreign government’s military defenses, including its nuclear capabilities.>>. FBI leaking it means it is not classified. or they are guilty of violating the espionage act. Headline should be FBI violates espionage act by leaking top secret information.
It’s probably a newspaper article about Iran.
Wait... What???
Are you saying that the FIB not only procured a search warrant based upon false information, and then exceeded the scope of said illegally procured warrant, but has somehow leaked the illegal proceeds of said search to the press???
Say it ain’t so
Power to classify and declassify is inherent in Presidentials powers under the constitution. It stems from Commander in Chief powers. He can declassify anything he wants. This whole thing reminds me of the bogus firing US Attorneys investigation of Bush. US Attorneys are part of executive branch….all executive power in vested in the office of the president. He can hire and fire anyone he wants!
See-BS.
that’s it!, we’ve got him this time! drumpf is finished /s
