Report: Seized Mar-a-Lago documents included foreign nuclear capabilities info


The Washington Post has reported the documents seized at Mar-a-Lago last month included information on a foreign country’s nuclear capabilities. The report cited an unnamed source familiar with the case. The document allegedly has sensitive material pertaining to military defenses of a country not named by the source. The source also doesn’t say where at Mar-a-Lago the document was found but said it was part of the FBI seizure on Aug. 8.

Christopher Kise, a lawyer for Trump, has already responded to the report. He criticized all leaks from the investigation. Kise said it further jeopardizes the Justice Department’s integrity throughout the FBI’s investigation of documents seized at Mar-a-Lago.

“Moreover, the damage to public confidence in the integrity of the system simply cannot be underestimated,” Kise said. “The responsible course of action here would be for someone — anyone — in the Government to exercise leadership and control. The Court has provided a sensible path forward which does not include the selective leak of unverifiable and misleading information. There is no reason to deviate from that path if the goal is, as it should be, to find a rational solution to document storage issues which have needlessly spiraled out of control.”

Spokespeople for the Justice Department and FBI declined to comment. While the investigation into documents recovered at Mar-a-Lago is on hold until a Special Master is appointed to the case, other legal cases will be keeping the Trump team busy. The former president is currently involved in eight investigations and is represented by at least 19 attorneys, according to Politico.
