Mar-a-Lago – the Palm Beach resort and residence where Donald Trump reportedly stored nuclear secrets among a trove of highly classified
documents for 18 months since leaving the White House – is a magnet for foreign spies, former intelligence officials have warned.

FBI found document on foreign nuclear defenses at Mar-a-Lago – report

The Washington Post reported that a document describing an unspecified
foreign government’s defences, including its nuclear capabilities, was
one of the many highly secret papers Trump took away from the White
House when he left office in January 2021.
There were also documents marked SAP, for Special-Access Programmes,
which are often about US intelligence operations and whose circulation
is severely restricted, even among administration officials with top
security clearance.
Potentially most disturbing of all, there were papers stamped HCS,
Humint Control Systems, involving human intelligence gathered from
agents in enemy countries, whose lives would be in danger if their
identities were compromised.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is conducting a
damage assessment review which is focused on the sensitivity of the
documents, but US officials said it is the job of FBI
counter-intelligence to assess who may have gained access to them.
That is a wide field. The home of a former president with a history of
being enthralled by foreign autocrats, distrustful of US security
services, and boastful about his knowledge of secrets, is an obvious
foreign intelligence target.
“I know that national security professionals inside government, my
former colleagues, [they] are shaking their heads at what damage might
have been done,” John Brennan, former CIA director, told MSNBC.
“I’m sure Mar-a-Lago was being targeted by Russian intelligence and
other intelligence services over the course of the last 18 or 20 months,
and if they were able to get individuals into that facility, and access
those rooms where those documents were and made copies of those
documents, that’s what they would do.”
