More Than A Million US Citizens Have A Top Secret Clearance

CNN: The number of people with Top Secret clearance will shock you 

(CNN)The central question surrounding the FBI's search of Mar-a-Lago last week is the one that remains most unanswered: What documents did former President Donald Trump have and why is the government so intent on getting them back?

Were the documents related to Roger Stone's pardon by Trump somehow key evidence? What is behind the appearance of material on the "President of France" in the receipt for what was taken?

WNU Editor: The focus of this CNN report is not on how many Americans have a top secret security clearance. The focus is on former President Trump's handling of documents that he says he declassified. 

And while this CNN report gives a few examples of high profile people being punished for not properly handling "Top Secret" information. Of course there is no mention on Hillary Clinton facing no consequences on how she handled Top Secret documents and information on her private server, or the destruction of devices and information that contained this information even though she was under subpoenaed to produce.
