    In their filing, the office of Special Counsel Jack Smith said the post raised concerns that Mr Trump could publicly reveal secret material, including grand jury transcripts obtained from prosecutors.

    Is this a problem that doesn’t have a solution?

    Like, if I break confidentiality I’m fired. Is there not some “break the rules and we throw you in jail” or are they too cowardly?
