• US Justice publishes search warrant for Trump's mansion in Mar-a-Lago

  • USA Trump mocks the redacted version of the search warrant of his mansion: "They have left a page!"

The intelligence of the

United States

will evaluate if the security of the country could have been endangered with the top secret documents that former President

Donald Trump

(2017-2021) stored without authorization in his residence in

Mar-a-Lago,

reported this Saturday the

Political

newspaper

and

CNN network.

According to these media, the director of US intelligence,

Avril Haines,

has sent a letter to a group of legislators to inform them that her office will carry out "an evaluation" of the risks to the security of the United States that could have resulted from the disclosure of the documents that Trump had.

So far it is unknown why the former president had these documents in Mar-a-Lago (Florida) and who had access to their content.

This is the first time that US intelligence admits the possibility that the security of the country has been endangered by the files that Trump had in his

Florida

mansion and that were recovered by the

FBI

during a search on August 8. .

The information that the Department of Justice

has made public

so far shows that Trump and his entourage could be being investigated for three crimes: obstruction of justice, destruction of documents and violation of the espionage law, which carry prison sentences.

According to

Politico

and

CNN,

Haines sent the letter yesterday, Friday, and it was addressed to the chair of the

House Government Oversight Committee,

Carolyn Maloney,

and to the chair of the House intelligence committee,

Adam Schiff.

In a statement, Maloney and Schiff applauded US intelligence's decision to open an investigation to assess possible damage to the country's security and called for the investigation to proceed quickly.

The announcement about the investigation coincides with the publication this Friday by order of a judge of the report that served to justify the FBI's search of Trump's mansion in Mar-a-Lago.

The version of the statement that was released had practically half of the content crossed out, so the juiciest details of the FBI investigation remain unknown.

However, it does reveal that the FBI feared that Trump's withholding of documents could jeopardize the identity of informants and other sources working with the US government.

Trump reacted to the publication of that statement with ridicule, in an attempt to downplay it.
