"Unraveling the Vanishing Act: The Enigma of the Lost Russian Intelligence Binder in the Trump Era"

A binder containing highly classified information on Russian election interference went missing during the final days of Donald Trump's presidency, raising concerns among intelligence officials about the exposure of sensitive national security secrets. The binder, which contained raw intelligence collected by the US and its NATO allies, including sources and methods, was last seen at the White House. It was part of a larger collection of documents related to the FBI's investigation into the Trump campaign's alleged collusion with Russia. Efforts to retrieve the missing intelligence have been unsuccessful, and its whereabouts remain unknown. Trump's allies have been seeking access to the binder, and his lawyers are now seeking the classified intelligence as they prepare for his defense against charges related to the 2020 election.

Ex-Army sergeant indicted for trying to pass classified secrets to China

A former US Army sergeant, Joseph Daniel Schmidt, has been arrested and charged with attempting to pass national defense information to the Chinese government. Schmidt, who had access to classified intelligence and a top-secret security clearance during his service, allegedly made trips to Beijing and Turkey and sent an email to the Chinese Consulates' public email address expressing his intention to share information learned during his career as an interrogator. He created documents containing classified information and contacted Chinese companies to advertise his services. Schmidt's arrest follows similar cases of US military personnel being charged with retaining or sharing military information with China.
