Biden and Trump administration officials mistakenly shared sensitive files with thousands of federal employees
0:07
including potentially classified White House floor plans, according to The Washington Post
0:12
which reports it found the breach through an internal records review. The Washington Post reports workers at the General Services Administration
0:22
which oversees most administrative and IT support for the federal government, were at fault for sharing the sensitive documents
0:30
The mistake reportedly led to a cybersecurity report and probe last week
0:35
The Post reports career GSA workers unintentionally shared a Google Drive folder holding sensitive files with more than 11,200 GSA employees
0:47
including a blueprint plan of a blast door for the White House Visitor Center and banking information for a vendor working with the Trump administration

The documents did not detail whether the White House plans or bank account info were classified documents

But nine of the 15 files were designated as controlled, unclassified information, while

1:40
a few leakers get fired and suddenly a bunch of hit pieces come out
1:44
from the same media that peddled the Russia hopes. See, this is what the media does
1:49
They take anonymous sources from disgruntled former employees, and then they try to slash
1:55
and burn people and ruin their reputations. Not going to work with me. The press secretary also addressed the report, telling reporters she spoke with Trump about it
2:04
this morning, and he stands strongly behind Hegseth. The latest case over GSA plans being
2:10
leaked spans at least four years. The Post reporting the Google Drive documents were shared
2:15
as early as 2021 and files were shared as recently as last week. Neither the GSA nor the White House
2:22
have commented on this report. An investigation into the matter is reportedly ongoing and the
2:28
documents in question are no longer accessible to the thousands of federal employees. For more on
