Records that the FBI searched for at former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property included classified documents related to nuclear weapons, The Washington Post reported on Thursday.
Sources familiar with the investigation told the Post that those documents were among those the FBI sought on Monday, when the bureau executed a search warrant at Trump’s Palm Beach, Fla., residence.
The sources did not say if the nuclear weapons discussed in the documents belonged to the United States or if these documents were recovered.

Brave Americans have died protecting TS//SI.
Snowden betrayed that trust — and those heroic dead.
Apparently Trump did too.https://t.co/8gFAXhgdJo

All Americans who don't think keeping Top Secret+ nuclear weapons information in your vacation house is ok need to walk away from Trump right now. This will only get worse, I promise you.https://t.co/rL1XKPQ5ET

Yes. Why he has all this stuff, I don't know; I now lean toward "because he thinks it's cool and it's a fuck-you to the government." https://t.co/CGhbDeAibX

We're in that short, golden period when anti-anti-Trumpers disappear from Twitter, awaiting their new talking points.

THANK you, Joe. This is the right take: It's horrible, prosecutable, an insane breach of security. But likely to be the product of the fact that Trump is an idiot and was grabbing everything he could on the way out the door. Which doesn't make it "not a crime."
Huge crime. https://t.co/OiEFqJlIYw— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) August 12, 2022
“Surely, Donald Trump stealing nuclear secrets will be enough to break away Republicans from him.”
if y’all haven’t learned this lesson now you never will.
The man can eat a live baby on national television and not a single Republican voter would give a shit.

Oh, hey…@gopchairwoman… is the RNC going to cover Trump's legal defense in his espionage case?

Just remember: if these reports are true that means that if they can search an ex-president’s home for vital nuclear documents and signals intelligence they can do it to you too.
