Learn how classified Russian intelligence went missing during the final days of the authoritarian narcissist Trump.
A binder containing top secret information related to Russian election interference went missing in the final days of the Donald Trump administration. The mystery around its disappearance has raised alarm among intelligence officials that national security secrets could be exposed, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

Countdown reports that during the last 24 hours in office, Donald Trump ordered a 10-inch thick binder of raw, ultra-secret intelligence about Russian interference, spying, and disinformation in this country - and American means of uncovering it - brought to the White House. He began to declassify it over the objection of every intelligence chief. His chief of staff Mark Meadows summoned disgraced ex-journalist John Solomon to the White House and handed him countless pages of the vital classified intelligence and a Solomon staffer "was even allowed to leave the White House with the declassified records in a paper bag.”
The original unredacted binder, containing thousands of pages, has never been recovered in the nearly three years since it was last seen in Trump's hands.
This comes from a new report this morning from CNN - startling even in the context of Trump's previously revealed treachery, treason, and intelligence theft. The implications of the report are obvious: Trump may still have the binder. Or he may have given it to someone else (the report implicates his former Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows. Or he may have given it to a foreign country. Or sold it.
And perhaps more importantly: What did Trump hope to achieve by giving its contents to John Solomon the night before Joe Biden's 2021 inauguration? Solomon was stopped as he scanned the documents, presumably for publication, by White House lawyers who demanded he return what Trump had given him. Was Trump hoping that the small percentage of documents that pertained to "Operation Crossfire Hurricane" would serve as a pretext for him to act to STOP the Biden Inauguration by using the Insurrection Act, or by other pretext, and with the military's help?
Is this nightmare of Trump stealing thousands of pages of intelligence about Russia's perfidy in our country - its violation of our national borders - its virtual invasion of our country, simply the preface for a darker plot in which Trump would have used the material as an excuse to illegally remain in power?
Does he still have that binder? Does he still have the plan?
A binder of classified material on Russia reportedly went missing in the final Trump days

In the waning days of the Trump administration, thousands of pages of intelligence on Russia's interference in the 2016 election, last seen in the hands of Trump administration officials, went missing and have yet to be found, according to reports. Peter Strzok, former FBI counter-intelligence agent, talks with Alex Wagner about the extraordinary sensitivity of the materials and the damage U.S. intelligence would suffer if the contents of those intelligence reports is compromised.BREAKING NEWS

Meanwhile, After 40 witnesses and 43 days of testimony, here’s what we learned at Trump’s civil fraud trial.
The trial involves six claims, including allegations of conspiracy and insurance fraud. James is seeking penalties over $300 million and wants Trump banned from doing business in New York.
Both sides have until Jan. 5 to submit written arguments. They will return to the courthouse for summations on Jan. 11, just four days before the Iowa caucuses start.
Engoron said he hopes to have a decision by the end of January.
Meanwhile, Trump’s lawyers are appealing Engoron’s pretrial fraud ruling and preparing to appeal if the judge rules against them again on the remaining issues.
When Trump’s lawyers said this week they were laying the groundwork for that, the judge quipped, “You’re going to appeal?”
