U.S. White House National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby (pictured) said on Monday that the White House is not involved in the intelligence's assessment of national security risks posed by documents that were kept at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property. However, he said that the review is appropriate.
Previously, the US intelligence community announced it will start examining potential risks related to the sensitive documents that were allegedly taken from the White House after Trump left his office.
On the other hand, the Department of Justice noted earlier in the day that some of the documents that were seized by the FBI from the former president's villa could potentially be covered by attorney-client privilege, while some reports claim that Trump will continue to seek a special master to review the records, as his legal team is against the department's decision to determine what should be used in the investigation on its own.
