Dem senator calls out Trump for leaving key to apparent classified info exposed
Source: The Hill
Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) called out President Trump on Twitter Friday after a photo showing what Heinrich said was a key to classified information was left out in the open on the president's desk.
"Never leave a key in a classified lockbag in the presence of non-cleared people. #Classified101," Heinrich tweeted along with a photo from the Associated Press, which includes a close-up shot of a golden key sticking out of a lockbag on the president's desk.

The photo was taken Wednesday during a meeting between Trump and Intel CEO Brian Krzanich in the Oval Office intended to tout the company's plan to invest more than $7 billion in an Arizona-based factory.
It's unlikely that many of the people in the room, including members of the press and Krzanich, have the security clearance to access classified documents.

As one of the comments to the tweet said, what scares me even more is that Trump is cleared to have that lockbag in the first place.
