When the insider is the President of the United States, the mishandling and removal of information take on a different demeanor given the national security implications.

It is alleged the 45th President of the United States directed the collection of materials to be placed into those boxes and forwarded to his Florida residence where they have sat for more than a year. It is also alleged that within some of these boxes were documents that carried the national security “secret” and “top secret” classifications.
