19. That's the question I want answered.

These records weren’t souvenirs, they were some of the most secret documents the intelligence community had. I would also question how he got these documents in the first place, because why would Trump’s intelligence briefings contain the raw intelligence behind such sensitive information that he most likely did not need for making any decisions? And because they have known he was a national security risk since his inauguration.

I have been wondering whether one of his stooges stole them. If so, I would think the intelligence agencies could prove that they did not provide these documents to Trump.
