We’ve seen an alarming wave of senior government officials who reportedly failed to properly safeguard classified information. But as impactful as the legal and political considerations may be, the potential ramifications these incidents can have on US national security must also be addressed, writes Gary Ross.
Over the past year, we’ve seen an alarming wave of current or former senior government officials who reportedly failed to properly safeguard classified information. This includes classified documents recovered from former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in August 2022 and additional classified material discovered and surrendered from the homes of President Joe Biden and former Vice President Mike Pence between December 2022 and January 2023.
This increases the likelihood that an adversary would succeed in accessing any classified documents stored at these locations. If our adversaries recognize a pattern of senior officials improperly storing documents, they may alter their tactics to target these less-secure locations. Rather than attempting to conduct a clandestine operation to surreptitiously enter an embassy or other federal building, for instance, they could simply look to burglarize a private residence.
