Trump’s Mishandling of Classified Information Raises Concerns Among Former White House Staff
According to a new report from ABC News, former President Donald Trump’s staff at the White House were outraged over his cavalier handling of classified information. The report details numerous incidents where Trump allegedly mishandled classified materials, including sharing highly sensitive intelligence with unauthorized individuals.
One of the key incidents highlighted in the report occurred when Trump shared a picture of a highly classified rocket explosion at an Iranian launch site. The image was captured by a U.S. satellite whose true capabilities were a closely guarded secret. However, Trump wanted to share it with the world and reportedly thought it was ‘especially sexy’ because it was marked classified.
A source who served as an adviser to the former president said, “It was so upsetting, and people were really angry.”
Former advisers close to Trump described a president who could erupt in anger when presented with intelligence he didn’t want to hear. They also alleged that Trump routinely reviewed and stored classified information in unsecured locations and had a “cavalier attitude” toward the potential damage that could be done by its disclosure.
The report also notes that the classified documents case is currently stalled as Judge Aileen Cannon, appointed by Trump himself, sorts through procedural issues. She has yet to set a new date for the trial, as the previous date is now impossible.
