Intelligence officers will resume a national security risk assessment of material seized from former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate after a federal appeals panel ruling earlier this week, Politico reports.
- It wrote that Trump “has not even attempted to show that he has a need to know the information contained in the classified documents.”
The big picture: The DOJ had argued blocking officials from examining the documents would hinder its investigation.
What they’re saying: “In consultation with the Department of Justice, [Office of the Director of National Intelligence] is resuming the classification review of relevant materials and assessment of the potential risk to national security that would result from the disclosure of the relevant documents,” a spokesperson told Politico on Friday.
