Donald Trump showed a classified map he retained from his first term in office to passengers on a 2022 private plane flight

and retained another record so sensitive that only six high-ranking government officials had access to it,
according to a prosecution memo released to Congress this week.


The Justice Department shared those findings, detailed in a January 2023 briefing document written by then-special counsel Jack Smith’s team,
with lawmakers as they conduct a review of Smith’s efforts
now-abandoned efforts to prosecute Trump.

The memo, which was obtained by The Washington Post, was penned as investigators moved toward indicting Trump on charges of illegally retaining sensitive government material after he left the White House.

It offers a snapshot of an early moment in Smith’s investigation and adds new shading to the public understanding of Smith’s probes,
-- even as a final report on his findings remains under court seal
