With Trump in debt, intelligence and security sources fear foreign spies may target him with offers

With more than $1 billion in total debts and at least $340 million due to Deutsche Bank, former President Donald Trump poses an unprecedented challenge for the US and Western intelligence services tasked with keeping the secrets he was exposed to daily for the past four years, according to five current or former intelligence officials in the US and Europe.

Trump's inability to keep US intelligence secrets - and his willingness to twist intelligence to suit his political needs - were well-documented aspects of his time in office. They led to several diplomatic incidents:

He once disclosed information about a secret mission by Israel's Mossad security services in Syria to a Russian ambassador.

He accidentally revealed how advanced US spy-satellite capabilities were, in a tweet.

even to the worst of the worst, still can't trust him, plus he's ignorant. Details would be sketchy at best.
