Federal investigators are asking witnesses whether former President Donald Trump showed off to aides and visitors a map he took with him when he left office that contains sensitive intelligence information, four people with knowledge of the matter said.
The map has been just one focus of the broad Justice Department investigation into Trump’s handling of classified documents after he departed the White House.
The nature of the map and the information it contained is not clear. But investigators have questioned a number of witnesses about it, according to the people with knowledge of the matter, as the special counsel overseeing the Justice Department’s Trump-focused inquiries, Jack Smith, examines the former president’s handling of classified material after leaving office and weighs charges that could include obstruction of justice.
One person briefed on the matter said investigators have asked about Trump showing the map while aboard a plane. Another said that, based on the questions they were asking, investigators appeared to believe that Trump showed the map to at least one adviser after leaving office.
A third person with knowledge of the investigation said the map might also have been shown to a journalist writing a book.
The question of whether Trump was displaying sensitive material in his possession after he lost the presidency and left office is crucial as investigators try to reconstruct what Trump was doing with boxes of documents that went with him to his Florida residence and private club, Mar-a-Lago.

CLASSIFIED MAPS
1. Locations of blank ballot cartons in U.S. cities
2. Trailer parks of Arkansas.
3. Places owned by Hunter Biden.
4. Places where Joe Biden grew up.
5. Covfefe sellers wholesale and retail.
Oh come on. NYT may be and is full of crap. But let’s get real and leave the brainwashed silo for just a moment?
***He did this all the time in the WH*** (showing off stuff he should not)
The audio recording of him with Woodward is evidence enough.
Also, I recall clearly about 4 years ago when he also showed off some
KJU letters in the Oval, but thought better of it, and snatched them back and then threatened some jackass lib Time Magazine reporter with jail (Sarah Sanders was in the room, too, and joined in with the threat) with imprisonment if he did not delete the docs from his cell - so right there you have unauthorized disclosure to third parties. I am not sure, but that correspondence could well have been TS/SCI at the moment.
He also stated on Hannity he had the right to take whatever he would want and Hannity tried to get off that one realll quick, it was hilarious as the hole was being dug even further. As I said, his attorneys cannot muzzle him for his own good, it is not going to shake out good for him due to somebody’s big mouth.
Smith should be immediately imprisoned for the leaks from his investigation.
Have Federal investigators ever asked witnesses whether former Senator and then Vice President Joe Biden ever showed off sensitive intelligence information?

Names or it means nothing.
The act alone of taking it after he left the WH declassified it. - Mark Levin and many other people who know what they are talking about
He also tweeted a satellite photo of a facility in Iran.
Oh please. I wrote the plan for gwi. on a lunch napkin because it was so obvious.
The President can declassify anything at any time.
Sure, with proper documentation. All Trump has to do is whip out the declassification documents and this nothingburger should go away. Unless of course he doesn't have such documents. But I can't imagine why that would be. After all, Trump is known for following rules and scripts.

Hey, ass-hat. President Trump has to do no such thing. He’s the friggin’ CHIEF EXECUTIVE! He can do ANYTHING. He can ‘think’ them being declassified and it is so.
God, you little administrative pussies crack me up.
Whatever.

The map showed where Joe Biden would be in Ireland and was found discarded carelessly on the street.
Is it a map of the legislative buildings.

Is that so? Well, then we'd better hope Burden doesn't accidentally think anything declassified.
I'll be generous and assume you just forgot your /s tag. It happens to the best of us.

Gee. Who then has the authority to control the CHIEF EXECUTIVE?
