  • The Justice Department, for example, submitted a subpoena for papers with classified marks in May, only weeks before the search.

  • The affidavit supporting the search is particularly interesting since it apparently contains critical data concerning the Justice Department's investigation into whether Trump maintained and mishandled secret and sensitive government records.

  • "The court hereby authorizes the appointment of a special master to review the seized property for personal items and documents and potentially privileged material subject to claims of attorney-client and/or executive privilege," wrote U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon in an order issued Monday.

  • They will be concerned about whether any of the information in the documents is about them, whether Trump has shared any of it, and, perhaps most importantly, whether their intelligence efforts—which resulted in information they shared, trusting the US's ability to safeguard secrets—may have been compromised.

  • During the Trump administration, our intelligence agencies responded to the president's erratic conduct by restricting the president's access to sensitive information, including information obtained from foreign sources.

  • When Biden took office, he made certain that Trump would not have access to real-time intelligence by denying him of the daily briefings that had been a practice for previous presidents.
