Donald Trump took “British naval secrets” to Mar-a-Lago after he left the White House, the former UK spy Christopher Steele says in a new book.
“I was reliably informed by impeccable sources that among the classified documents which Trump, apparently unauthorizedly, took with him to Mar-a-Lago at the end of his presidency were British naval secrets, some of the most sensitive ones in our governmental system,” Steele writes.
“It remains unclear to me, at least, why Trump would have wanted to retain such documents and what eventually happened to them.”
In a statement sent to the Guardian after this story was published on Tuesday, a spokesperson for the British Ministry of Defence said of Steele’s comments about naval secrets taken to Mar-a-Lago: “These claims are untrue.”
Isn’t this the Steele Dossier guy? I thought he was discredited, although I admit I don’t know as much about that whole situation as I probably should.
No it was the opposite. Information laid out in his dossier continues to prove true over time as more details are released to the public. Not sure that anything has been shown to be false.
Most criticism you find is heavy on colorful language like “'fake news” and “common sense” but lacks any disproving evidence.
The dossier was raw intel compiled as opposition research that was leaked. It was never intended to be 100% correct, instead it was supposed to be a starting point for further research.
After the leak it was mischaracterized as a finished product and so inaccuracies were used to smear it.

If you tell your secrets to the big dummie in the room, you should expect it to no longer be a secret
The thing is, Trump is not USA. Alliances are made with the USA, long before Trump. He abused his power.
There was no way of knowing that USA would vote for a president like him.
Unless you mean that USA is the dummy
