Eric Trump says father Donald too ‘neat’ to leave top secret papers lying around office floor
FBI agents found a document describing the foreign government’s military defences, including its nuclear capabilities, when they searched Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate last month, The Washington Post reported on Tuesday night.
The revelation could severely undercut Mr Trump’s defense projects that the documents are harmless or meant for a future presidential library or other.
Meanwhile, former Donald Trump strategist Steve Bannon is expected to surrender to New York state prosecutors on Thursday to face a new criminal indictment, according to reports.
This comes just weeks after a federal jury convicted him of two counts of criminal contempt of Congress for intentionally defying a subpoena related to the assault on the US Capitol last year.
And the former secretary of state Hillary Clinton told CBS News that she believes Mr Trump led and encouraged a criminal seditious conspiracy against the US, comparing Mr Trump’s reaction to losing in 2020 to his own measured response to losing the 2016 election.
Trump spokesman says paper ‘colluded’ with FBI over nuclear secrets claims – but doesn’t deny accusation
Donald Trump’s spokesperson has been accused The Washington Post of ”colluding” with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) after it reported that the former president kept details of a foreign country’s nuclear capabilities at his Florida home.
Taylor Budowich, the former president’s communications director, alleged the post “continues to serve as the propaganda arm of the Biden administration” without denying the report.

Donald Trump Jr was reminded of his own long and well-documented history of extremist partisan rhetoric last week after attack Joe Biden’s speech on democracy in the United States last week in Philadelphia as “arguably the most divisive speech in American history”.
Mr Trump Jr, the 44-year-old eldest child of former President Donald Trump, has long been one of the most outspoken members of the Trump political machine — which is one reason why some observers accused him of hypocrisy after he hit out at Mr Biden.
