Trump Attorney’s New Claim About Mar-A-Lago Causes Jaws To Drop On Twitter

Donald Trump claims all of the documents seized by the FBI from
Mar-a-Lago were declassified and in “secure storage” at the resort. But
one of the former president’s own attorneys didn’t exactly instill a lot
of confidence about just how “secure” that storage was.

“It was a locked door, and getting back down into the basement, there’s
security, you can’t just walk down there,” Christina Bobb told Laura
Ingraham on Thursday. “Only certain members of staff can get there, and
then there’s only one key.”

Bobb added that “a limited number of people” had access to that area:

Ingraham: Was there a limited number who had access to that storage room…
Bobb: Yes.. Mar-a-Lago is secure.. just getting on to the compound is
hard.. Only certain members of staff can get down there.. It’s a very
limited number of people that can get down there pic.twitter.com/5seWpty8h0

Certain types of documents ― especially the highly sensitive files
reportedly sought by the Justice Department at Mar-a-Lago ― require
extremely rigorous security measures, more than a lock and limited
access to certain members of staff. Some may even require what’s known
as a sensitive compartmented information facility (SCIF).

Trump’s document facility, as described by NewsNation, was “a storage
room off an interior hallway near the pool” with “boxes everywhere.”

That pool, The Washington Post noted, was a major part of the social
scene at the resort and “a focal point of activity as part of
Mar-a-Lago’s day-to-day business.”

On Twitter, Trump’s critics were quick to point out that Bobb’s comments
didn’t make it sound like the documents were securely stored and may
have only hurt her client’s case:

Sure a Chinese spy once got in, but “Mar-a-Lago is secure.” And don’t
worry, “only certain members of staff” at the resort—which routinely
hires foreign guest workers—have access to the area where the former
president stashed highly classified materials https://t.co/lX6LYatgOr
