An international group seeking to eliminate nuclear weapons says the FBI’s seizure of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, which could contain nuclear information, underscores the vulnerability of global security. Alicia Sanders-Zakre, policy research coordinator with the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), said the organization was concerned that the presence of potentially sensitive material could be exposed to those who would not normally have access to this kind of information. documentation. “I think we really have no idea what was going on inside Trump’s head and that’s even scarier because at one point he had control of all the US nuclear weapons. So I think it shows that we can’t rely on anyone to control weapons that can destroy the world 10 times over,” he told Insider. On Monday, federal agents seized 11 sets of classified documents after searching former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home. According to the Wall Street Journal, some of the files seized by the FBI were classified as top secret and meant to be stored only in special government facilities. In a statement released Friday, Trump did not deny a Washington Post report saying documents with nuclear weapons information were part of the investigation. In another statement that day, he denied the allegation. “The nuclear issue is a hoax, just like Russia, Russia, Russia was a hoax, two fakes were a hoax, the Mueller investigation was a hoax and more. The same devious people are involved,” she said. statement. When asked if Trump’s response appeared to confirm that nuclear documents were leaked, a former Justice Department official told Insider, “it sounds like it.” Saunders-Zackre said the event is a matter of global concern. “It really highlights the fact that nuclear weapons are too dangerous for any country or individual to be able to control,” he told Insider. “There’s no margin for error. I think that’s what’s so scary about them is that we know that people aren’t perfect. And sometimes you have someone who doesn’t follow protocols, who, like Trump, might be wrong about how to conduct foreign affairs’. The Justice Department is investigating whether Trump violated three federal laws, including the Espionage Act when he moved government documents from the White House to Mar-a-Lago after leaving office.
