Ron Johnson said he was not overly concerned about the possibility of top- secret information being leaked from the documents found at Mar-a-Lago.
Johnson was asked if he was worried about potential national security breeches.
I think Mar-a-Lago is a good place to live. The documents may have been in a safe because it has Secret Service protection.
He said that he was not concerned about the leak of top- secret information.
Johnson, who sits on the Senate's homeland security and foreign relations committees, said that he was not worried about the documents in Trump's possession.
He said that the Justice Department should not have taken that step.
The FBI took 11 sets of classified documents from Mar-a-Lago after executing a search warrant.
There were 15 boxes of documents removed from the property.
The Espionage Act is one of the laws the Justice Department is investigating if Trump broke when he took the documents to Mar-a-Lago. Those found guilty of violating the act will be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison.
The Washington Post reported that the FBI searched the Mar-a-Lago home of the former president. The FBI should return the boxes of attorney-client material that were taken from the residence, according to Trump.
According to experts, Mar-a-Lago is a good location for storing government documents.
A former Department of Justice official said that retention of highly classified documents in improper storage creates a national security threat.
There have been security issues at Mar-a-Lago. Guests watched as Trump talked with Abe about the response to the North Korean missile test.
A Chinese woman was arrested and charged after she entered the property. The prosecutors said at the time that the woman had a thumb drive with malicious software on it.
John Kelly, Trump's former chief of staff, told The Washington Post that he thought the former president might have brought top- secret documents to Mar-a-Lago because he didn't like the White House classification system.
He knew that the people in the intel business were incompetent.
