OOPS, THE OPTICS R ''BUSINESS AS USUAL''....A FUCK UP
Multiple government documents detailing President Donald Trump’s recent meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin were reportedly discovered abandoned in a public printer.
Eight papers appearing to be from the State Department were left at the printer in the Hotel Captain Cook, which is near the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska, where Trump and Putin held their summit on Friday, according to NPR.
Jon Michaels, a professor of law at UCLA who lectures about national security, said that the documents found in the printer of the Alaskan hotel reveal a lapse in professional judgement in preparation for a high-stakes meeting.
"It strikes me as further evidence of the sloppiness and the incompetence of the administration," said Michaels. "You just don't leave things in printers. It's that simple."
The printed papers are the latest example of a series of security breaches by officials of the Trump administration. Earlier this week, members of a law enforcement group chat that included members of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) added a random person to a conversation about an ongoing search for a convicted attempted murderer. In March, U.S. national security leaders accidentally included a journalist in a group chat about impending military strikes in Yemen.
