Material on foreign nation's nuclear capabilities seized at Trump's Mar-a-Lago
Source: Washington Post
A document describing a foreign government’s military defenses, including its nuclear capabilities, was found by FBI agents who searched former president Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence and private club last month, according to people familiar with the matter, underscoring concerns among U.S. intelligence officials about classified material stashed in the Florida property.
Some of the seized documents detail top-secret U.S. operations so closely guarded that many senior national security officials are kept in the dark about them. Only the president, some members of his Cabinet or a near-Cabinet level official could authorize other government officials to know details of these special access programs, according to people familiar with the search, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive details of an ongoing investigation.
Documents about such highly classified operations require special clearances on a need-to-know basis, not just top-secret clearance. Some special-access programs can have as few as a couple dozen government personnel authorized to know of an operation’s existence. Records that deal with such programs are kept under lock and key, almost always in a secure compartmented information facility, with a designated control officer to keep careful tabs on their location. But such documents were stored at Mar-a-Lago, with uncertain security, more than 18 months after Trump left the White House.
After months of trying, according to government court filings, the FBI has recovered more than 300 classified documents from Mar-a-Lago this year: 184 in a set of 15 boxes sent to the National Archives and Records Administration in January, 38 more handed over by a Trump lawyer to investigators in June, and more than 100 additional documents unearthed in a court-approved search on Aug. 8.

Nawh, gawd-chosen... 
But then I think many of us expected this might have gone on with that administration after the 2016 election but I guess hoped that it wouldn't devolve to such a degree, and there would be a few with a clue who still cared about protecting the integrity of the nation. Some did but then they were "removed" and opportunistic loons were brought in. 
don't know who could have predicted it yet it makes so much sense. I hesitate to be optimistic, but I will be anyway. Seems I have no other choice. 
TFG, and all his MAGAts have sunk so far beneath pond scum they are finding their way right through the core of the earth. With any luck they may come out again in N Korea.
Very few others. I don't think anyone but the current president's cabinet and federal agencies have a right or a reason to see the secret files. If they are marked secret, they should not have been in Dump's possession. If there are files that are not marked as secret, let the SM see them, and then require that they be sent to the National Archives, according to law. It's beyond me as to why the ignorant asshole (Dump) wants to prove that he broke the law and took top secret documents, but under no circumstance should they be returned to Dump. The whole request for a Special Master makes no sense, especially since the FBI has said that they have already reviewed all of the papers. 
Some of those (well, probably all, but I’m talking about the most classified ones) had specific people who were supposed to safeguard them I’m curious how Trump got to keep them.
Was it a willing accomplice that was hoping this could be kept quiet til payday/escape to another country? Or is it a case of some spineless cretin that folded like a cheap suit because “it was the President”? I’ve met my fair share of the latter when I was in the Navy…
