JUST IN: FBI searched Trump’s home to look for nuclear weapons documents and other items

Classified documents relating to nuclear weapons were among the items FBI agents sought in a search of former president Donald Trump’s Florida residence on Monday, according to people familiar with the investigation.

Experts in classified information said the unusual search underscores deep concern among government officials about the types of information they thought could be located at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club and potentially in danger of falling into to the wrong hands.

The people who described some of the material that agents were seeking spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation. They did not offer additional details about what type of information the agents were seeking, including whether it involved weapons belonging to the United States or some other nation. Nor did they say if such documents were recovered as part of the search. A Trump spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Justice Department and FBI declined to comment.

Material about nuclear weapons is especially sensitive and usually restricted to a small number of government officials, experts said. Publicizing details about U.S. weapons could provide an intelligence road map to adversaries seeking to build ways of countering those systems. And other countries might view exposing their nuclear secrets as a threat, experts said.

One former Justice Department official, who in the past oversaw investigations of leaks of classified information, said the type of top-secret information described by the people familiar with the probe would probably cause authorities to try to move as quickly as possible to recover sensitive documents that could cause grave harm to U.S. security.

“If that is true, it would suggest that material residing unlawfully at Mar-a-Lago may have been classified at the highest classification level,” said David Laufman, the former chief of the Justice Department’s counterintelligence section, which investigates leaks of classified information. “If the FBI and the Department of Justice believed there were top secret materials still at Mar-a-Lago, that would lend itself to greater ‘hair-on-fire’ motivation to recover that material as quickly as possible.”

And Jay Bratt, the chief of the Justice Department’s counterintelligence and export control section, appears on the brief to unseal the search warrant used in the search of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence.

Why do you suppose he was is one of the key people that were involved in the Mar-a-Lago search?

Bullshit.


I’ve worked on nuclear systems. The documentation doesn’t leave the room. Most of it is on classified networks, no paper copies. Also, why would the President, the highest executive position, have engineering drawings? He’s not a nuclear scientist, it would be like showing a wristwatch to a hog.

OK, so maybe it’s war plans, after all the President needs to know what he is supposed to do. He is briefed on them but doesn’t need a copy, that’s what the Chiefs of Staff are for.

This article from WaPo is total BS.

There's no way in hell he will be allowed to run for president again

NEVER

Think about it.

Trump had nuclear weapons documents.

Trump stole nuclear secrets.

That's why the Export Control Section and a Counterintelligence Agent were sent to Mar-a-Lago to seize the documents.

Up until now I had been wondering why in the world would they send a Counterintelligence Agent.

youwant the father of the vax to run again? you want him to sell you out to big pharma again?

One question for all you Trump haters.

Why isn't he under arrest for treason right now if you think this unmitigated bull shit is fact?

Think about this.

When the foreign-sponsored coup plotters stole the 2020 election from the legitimate president of the United States, the coup masquerading as the legitimate government of the United States stole ALL government secrets.

As such, the only real question is the Biden Administration legitimate and it isn't then the election was stolen these criminals are continuing to attack the legitimate government of the US.

People like you continue to lie and support criminals who stole my vote.

You blue state Yankee kid groomer democrat.

Think about it.

Jay Bratt is the Chief of the Counterintelligence and Export Control Section (CES) of the National Security Division, where he oversees all of CES’ operations. At the U. S. Attorney’s Office, he prosecuted a wide variety of Espionage Act, export enforcement, and counterterrorism matters.

NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

Yikes…WTAF?

You'd only steal that to sell it, right?

If you took it by accident, you'd give it right back when asked.

Bill Clinton gave the Chinese icbm guidance system info for campaign funds. Literally nothing was done.
So democrats, you need to be demanding Clinton be tried for treason, abd raided by the FBI.
That is unless you like the FBI persecution of conservatives for political reasons, and you don't care that it literally makes you a fascist.

I think Trump set a trap for these leftist morons. I think he knew he had a mole in his midst and purposely set the mole and the corrupt Biden administration up into taking the bait.

You need an indictment and an arrest warrant for that.

We are in the investigative phase now and this search and seizure is part of that. A grand jury may or may not have yet been empanelled.

This will get deleted. That's what they do on this site when you drop truth bombs.
