Last week, I went on CNN to discuss our former President’s disregard for our nation’s secrets and the grave risk his actions pose to our national security.
The former President’s actions further cement my resolve as a member of the House Intelligence Committee to defend confidential information and protect our servicemembers.
As a former CIA officer, I used to collect the information and write the types of intelligence reports that the former President so cavalierly stored in boxes at his hotel. The precautions U.S. intelligence agencies take to safeguard America’s secrets are extraordinary — because this information is paramount to our national security. The idea that documents detailing our nuclear secrets would be haphazardly strewn across the floors of Mar-a-Lago is unthinkable.
This incident exemplifies why we need competent, experienced individuals leading our country.
