"Missing Binder: Classified Russian Intelligence Vanishes During Trump's Final Days"
A 10-inch thick binder containing nearly 3,000 pages of highly classified material related to the investigation of Russian election interference and links between Moscow and Donald Trump went missing in the final days of his presidency. The disappearance has raised concerns in the intelligence community as it could potentially expose closely guarded national security secrets. The binder, known as the "Crossfire Hurricane binder," was the subject of a Senate intelligence committee briefing. Trump faces 91 criminal charges, including 40 charges related to the retention of classified information after leaving office. The missing binder contains a mix of materials related to the origins of the Russia investigation, including botched FBI applications and text messages expressing animus toward Trump. The substance of the material is not particularly sensitive, but concerns center around potential revelations about sources and methods. Multiple copies of the binder were created, with plans to distribute them to Republicans in Congress and right-wing journalists.
