NEW: Experts criticize White House use of sensitive computer system to store Trump transcripts via JennaMC_Laugh
In the complaint made to the Intelligence Community Inspector General on August 12, the anonymous official says the transcript of President Trump’s July 25th phone call with newly elected Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was moved to a highly classified computer system “solely for the purpose of protecting politically sensitive—rather than national security sensitive—information.”
According to national security experts and former National Security Council officials, including those who served under Trump, the decision to relocate the call transcripts—whose specific contents are not typically highly sensitive— is extremely abnormal and not in line with how the system is meant to be used.
Story continues“It would never be used to protect or ‘lock down’ politically sensitive material or to protect the president or senior officials from embarrassment,” he continued. “I’m appalled at this clear abuse of the President’s power to manage and protect our most sensitive secrets.”
