The eight US House and Senate leaders who are required to be briefed on covert military and intelligence matters have asked the Department of Justice to provide them with access to the cache of classified documents that were seized from former president Donald Trump’s Florida home.
According to Politico, the “Gang of Eight” — the House of Representatives’ Speaker and Minority Leader, the Senate majority and minority leaders, and the chairs and ranking members of the House and Senate intelligence committees — have inquired about gaining access to the boxes of documents which FBI agents recovered from Mar-a-Lago, the Palm Beach, Florida mansion turned private club where Mr Trump maintains his primary residence and post-presidential office.
