According to a new report published by Politico, the National Archives discovered more than 700 pages of classified documents in 15 boxes recovered from Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in January, revealing. The report cites a letter between the National Archivist and Trump’s legal team that shows the severity of the national security threat posed by Trump’s actions.
The May 10 letter also said that among the classified material was “special access program materials,” which are among the most closely guarded secrets in the U.S. government, the report states.
The explosive letter was published late Monday by John Solomon, a conservative journalist and one of Trump’s authorized liaisons to the National Archives for reviewing documents from his time in the White House.
The missive also showed that both the National Archives and federal investigators had become deeply worried about the national-security lapse caused by top secret documents being kept at Trump’s Florida resort, as well as his resistance to returning the documents to the National Archives.

The correspondence also shows that National Archivist Debra Wall rejected Trump’s claim to privilege over the documents due to national-security concerns relating to the classified material.
