both the search warrant and the inventory receipt. the wall street journal appears to have already seen both. the paper is reporting the fbi took 11 sets of classified documents from mar-a-lago, including one set of documents marked as tssci documents. that means top secret, sensitive, compartmented information. in other words, some of the most sensitive material the u.s. government says it has. stuff that is only meant to be seen in special government facilities. this would jibe with what multiple outlets have been reporting already, that the d.o.j. was looking for highly classified documents at mar-a-lago and potentially with what the washington post, citing sources familiar, with that knows documents were about nuclear weapons. if so, that would explain the urgency behind the search. nbc has not confirmed the washington post reporting and we have not confirmed the wall street journal reporting but we all could be about to. the warrant and inventory list could be un
and saying that he was able to declassify whatever he wants. joyce, put that make sense of that for us? explain that to us. well, i d love to make sense of it, katy, but it doesn t make much in the way of sense. it is a shocker that the former president would try to distract from his own problems but invoking barack obama who by all accounts including this official one complied fully with the presidential records act. when it comes to these new suggestions that trump could have declassified these documents on his way out the door, this rings a little bit too good to be true. and certainly the president has declassification authority, he can do it with far less need to dot the i s and cross the t s than someone else could. but if for instance i had walked out of my office with tss, ci information which we re being told what was recovered in the execution of this search warrant, it is clear that if i had refused to turn it over or tried to keep it hidden saver a request was
does join us. amtrak workers are not involved, but many of the amtrak rails are owned by those freight railroad companies. this news was just announced moments ago in a statement. amtrak said started thursday it would cancel all long distance trains. as you mentioned, that is to avoid possible passenger disruptions while en route. obviously both sides are still negotiating and trying to reach an agreement before friday. it s not only the amtrak lines that will be impacted. for example, here in chicago already at least nine of the 11 metro lines have been suspended due to this possible strike. one travel expert who we heard from says this will be more if that strike happens than a travel nightmare. listen in. it s really going to bottle up the freight system. we have supply chain problems already. the ports are clogged. you throw in a rail strike and tens of thousands of containers can t get to where they want to go. that affects stores in our everyday lives. if this hap
government had established probable cause of potential violation of three federal statutes. number one relates to the unlawful removal of government material. number two relates to the law prohibiting the destruction or concealment of documents to obstruct an investigation. number three, potentially the most explosive, the espionage act. the inventory of what the fbi seized includes around 20 boxes of items including four sets of top-secret documents, three sets of secret documents, and three sets of confidential documents. the list does not provide any more details about the substance of those documents or what might be in them. in addition, there was binders of photos, signatures of the former president, executive grant of clemency for roger stone and my personal favorite quote, info. re the president of france. can t wait to find out what that is. the vagueness of that inventory will leave people wondering exactly what exactly is in those boxes. there will be room for sp
