Frank Figliuzzi is a former FBI official.
These files hold the greatest value to foreign powers.
He said that countries would find out what the US knew about their defense.
According to a former FBI official, former President Donald Trump may have wanted to keep top- secret documents about a foreign power because of the high price it would have cost.
The Washington Post reported on Wednesday that Donald Trump wanted to keep top- secret documents about a foreign country's nuclear program at his Mar-a-Lago home.
The high price of these documents made them attractive assets to own.
Nuclear-related information would be among the top of my answers if I were to be asked what the highest price tag or highest value might be on what kind of classified US government information.
He said that such information has the greatest value if one were to market it and take advantage of it.
"First, a country would give its right arm to learn what the US knew about its nuclear program and capabilities, not only for the obvious reason of, 'Hey, they figured this out,' but also because it would signal what we don't know about their program,'"
Let's go to that country's opponent. He said that they would give their left and right arms to find out what their opponent was up to.
The files were located at Mar-a-Lago, which Figliuzzi said had some of the lowest security you could imagine with foreign nationals.
The representative at Trump's post-presidential office did not reply immediately.
Foreign nationals may have tried to get into Mar-a-Lago, according to the FBI.
"Any competent foreign intelligence service would have tried to gain access to the former president's Florida residence," Strzok said in August. Russia, China, Iran, and Cuba may have been where these agents came from.
There are other people who think that Trump may have tried to sell such data.
The author of one of Trump's books said in August that the former president might have taken White House documents to sell as souvenirs. Eric Shaw asked if Trump had tried to "sell or share" the top-secret files with the Russians or the Saudis.
The FBI seized 11 sets of classified documents during their raid on Mar-a-Lago. According to The Washington Post, some of the documents may have concerns about nuclear weapons.
The Espionage Act is one of the federal laws the DOJ is looking into if Trump broke by keeping the documents at his Florida residence.
The idea that there were nuclear documents in Trump's possession was thrown out last month. The Washington Post reported this week that the files seized from Mar-a-Lago included information about a foreign government.
