Washington (CNN)The Democratic chairs of the House Intelligence and Oversight Committees have asked federal intelligence leadership for a congressional briefing and damage assessment after the FBI seized 11 sets of classified documents at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home earlier this week.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff and House Oversight Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney requested that Avril Haines, director of National Intelligence (DNI), conduct an immediate review following the extraordinary search of a former president's home, according to a letter dated Saturday that was obtained by CNN. The DNI oversees the intelligence community in the executive branch.
"If this report is true, it is hard to overstate the national security danger that could emanate from the reckless decision to remove and retain this material," Maloney of New York and Schiff of California wrote.
The FBI on Monday executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago, with agents removing 11 sets of classified documents, some of which were marked as "top secret/SCI" -- one of the highest levels of classification.


I'm betting this material is already in foreign / enemy hands.
