Newly released internal Justice Department messages appear to show classified security lapses inside former special counsel Jack Smith’s office while prosecutors under the Biden administration were pursuing President Donald Trump over his handling of classified documents.

The records, released Wednesday, describe an incident in which an individual received access to classified material without confirmation of a required “need to know,” uncertainty over the movement of classified materials, and a security “violation and incident” after a DOJ sensitive compartmented information facility, or SCIF, was left unsecured overnight or longer. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) released the messages while demanding answers from acting Attorney General Todd Blanche about whether the incidents were investigated and whether any classified material was compromised.
