MADRID, 22 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
At least one of the classified documents confiscated from former US President Donald Trump would contain US government secrets about Iran and China, as ‘The Washington Post’ has learned.
Specifically, this document would describe Iran’s missile program and contain data on “highly sensitive intelligence work” in relation to China, as detailed by people familiar with the investigation of the papers confiscated from Trump to the aforementioned newspaper.
The disclosure of the information found in these documents would pose multiple risks, including endangering the lives of people hired by the US intelligence services in charge of collecting sensitive information.
On August 8, a group of FBI agents broke into the luxurious mansion of former President Trump in Palm Beach, Florida, taking around twenty boxes full of folders with classified documentation, some of them with the top secret label.
Among the documents that FBI agents collected during the raid on the Mar-a-Lago residence, some confidential files have been found that would even describe the military defenses of a foreign government, including its nuclear capabilities.
After this seizure, the US Department of Justice has launched an investigation to review these documents and thus decipher how many of them contained sensitive material for the US Government.
Under US law, official White House documents are federal property and must be turned over to the National Archives when a president leaves office, which is why Trump is under investigation for violating the Presidential Records Act.
