No former public official should have access, end of
Or his shitty lawyers, to be honest.
The shitty lawyers that didn’t tell him he needed to give them back… and helped shuffle them around.
Fwiw clearance holders have a two year period where their clearance is still valid after leaving a cleared job however having continued active access to the classified material is entirely different and not very likely at all.
Ordinarily you'd be right, but Americans do have the right to see what evidence is being used to accuse them. If you're accused of improperly handling Document A1, you have to reasonably know what that document is, otherwise the government could accuse you of any crime and hide the evidence under the guise of "it's classified, trust us bro!"
Also, he's (probably) already seen these documents, so there's no further damage that could be done allowing him to examine them again in a reasonably secure location (provided he doesn't talk about them, of course).
To be clear, no one is saying Trump can’t ever see what is in these documents. They’ve just limited where and how his legal team can discuss the documents with him.
provided he doesn’t talk about them, of course
We all know he's clearly incapable of doing that.
Well Putin’s not going to like this..
Putin doesnt care, he and MBS have already bought copies
Very likely Trump already sold all our secrets to Russia, China, and whomever.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The decision appears to largely be in line with restrictions special counsel Jack Smith sought to protect classified information that may be evidence in the case against Trump, which accuses him of criminally mishandling sensitive national security secrets at his Florida club and residence after he left office.
The development is one of the first times the court has set terms around classified information in a case where Trump’s team has tried to downplay the seriousness of how records were handled.
Trump’s legal team had wanted more leeway on the locations where they could discuss classified records with him, including at the Mar-a-Lago club and his Bedminster, New Jersey, residence.
Judge Aileen Cannon warned in her order of the consequences should any classified or otherwise sensitive information be improperly revealed to the public, pointing out such disclosures may violate the law.
Cannon held a sealed hearing about the handling of classified information in the case on Tuesday in South Florida, according to multiple sources familiar with the proceeding.
Cannon also asked for additional briefing on the rules Nauta and de Olivera should be subject to under the relevant law, the Classified Information Procedures Act.
