House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) is asking the White House to provide his panel with details about how sensitive information was handled during a weekend meeting at President Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.
In a letter to White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, Chaffetz requested detailed explanations of the Trump administration's security protocols at the Florida estate, including what documents were present at Saturday's powwow and how the administration vetted club guests.
The request came after it was revealed that Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe held a meeting in plain sight on Saturday to discuss North Korea's most recent missile test.
Some guests at the club that night posted photos on social media showing the two leaders being briefed while aides stood in the background, using cellphones to shine light on documents.
The White House has said no classified documents were reviewed in public, but questions continue to swirl.
"White House press secretary Sean Spicer said no classified information was present in the Mar-a-Lago dining room, as the President was briefed in a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) both before and after the dinner," Chaffetz wrote in the letter.

Let me see...
Golf on the goat track at Andrews or Mar-A-Largo.
Tough choice.
I know the optics are important, but he probably got more done on the trip down and back than most POTUS have in a week.
That's the problem. the SKIFF at Mar a Lago is more secure and the weasels can't leak info.
True, unlike the previous president, Trump actually shows up to work and works.
I wonder, too. I never anticipated the extent of the hatred of the left. I have never seen anything like this happen before here. The malicious protests, spying, lying, snubbing, lawsuits, and boycotts feel like they are occurring in every major area of our society. He is trying to do the right thing for this country but isn't getting much appreciation for his efforts. I just hope his family will stay strong.
Thank you for correcting my acronym.
No worries; I’ve worked in ‘em. :-)
More amusing was what the closed captioning on my TV did with the word. It forget what it was, but it made me laugh!
