Olivia Troye found classified documents in ladies room

[Sixties Fan]

Olivia Troye, who served as a homeland security and counter-terrorism adviser to former Vice President Mike Pence, says it was "a known thing" in the Trump White House that her colleagues were sometimes careless in handling sensitive documents.

"I found classified information in the ladies' room of the White House one time in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building," Troye said during an interview with MSNBC following explosive revelations about top secret materials seized at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home during an FBI search last week.

The discovery of files in the bathroom happened before the pandemic, Troye told Insider, adding that she "thought it was odd that someone put them down and forgot them."

Troye, who eventually left her job in the administration and has become a critic of the former president, said she immediately turned the materials over to security.

"I covered it up, I put it in a folder. It wasn't marked properly," she said Friday. "I was not expecting to walk into the ladies' room and find a document like that."

In a follow-up interview on Sunday, Troye told MSNBC that she can still "remember the panic" when she realized what had been carelessly left on a bathroom shelf.

"There is sort of a blood-pressure rise in you where you pick it up, and you're like, 'Oh what do I do with this? I have a responsibility to protect it.'"

Cool story from MSNBC, bro!

Tell us about the time Trump carjacked the Secret Service. That's a good one!

And everybody is expected to believe this TDS afflicted runt.

I asked about her firsthand observation of the President during the crisis. She said that Trump was “disruptive.” That he could not “focus.” That he was consumed by himself and his prospects in November. “For him, it was all about the election,” Troye told me. “He just can’t seem to care about anyone else besides himself.”

Troye joined the coronavirus task force when it was first established, in late January, before any Americans had died from covid-19. Her experience on it, Troye told me, convinced her that Trump’s handling of the situation—the conscious spreading of disinformation, the disregard for the task force’s work—had made the crisis far worse for Americans. She warned about the President’s push for a vaccine before the November election and said that she did not trust him to do the right thing for the country’s health and safety. “What I’m really concerned about is if they rush this vaccine and pressure people and get something out because they want to save the election,” she said.

Troye is the first White House staff member who has worked on the coronavirus response to speak out publicly against Trump, but the President and the Administration she described were drearily consistent with portraits that have emerged in countless other tell-all interviews and books: a White House riven by backstabbing and suspicion, where trouble flowed from the top and good governance was subordinate to Presidential whim and partisan calculation. She told me she believed that most other staffers on the coronavirus task force were genuinely motivated to help Americans weather the pandemic but that Trump blocked them from implementing the right policies. “Everything that you’re putting in place is derailed not just by a random person—it’s derailed by a No. 1. It’s derailed by the person at the very top,” she said.



Troye described herself to me as a lifelong Republican, whose first job out of college was at the Republican National Committee. On 9/11, she fled her office on foot, walking home past the smoldering fire of the Pentagon, a moment that convinced her, like many others in her generation, to pursue a career in national security. She went on to serve as a George W. Bush Administration appointee in the Pentagon. For the first year and a half of the Trump Administration, she worked at the Department of Homeland Security, as a career intelligence official, before being detailed to Pence’s staff. Civil servants like her were reviled as “deep staters” by Trump’s political appointees, she said. They were viewed with even more suspicion after Trump’s impeachment in the House, in December, was aided by testimony from mid-level White House staffers, including Jennifer Williams, Pence’s national-security aide, who worked in the office next to Troye’s. “I actually find that term very offensive,” she told me, “because not once while I was there did I do anything that I believe would lead anyone to think that I was a ‘deep stater,’ constantly undermining his agenda. . . . At the end of the day, I’m a career officer and my job was to serve, no matter who was in office.”

Soon after our conversation, a coalition called Republican Voters Against Trump released Troye’s video, the third such testimonial of a former Administration official speaking out against the President that the group has produced in recent weeks. In the video, Troye speaks directly to the camera. As pictures of her sitting alongside Vice-President Pence flash onscreen, she says that, by mid-February, the task force knew that the coronavirus was a lethal threat to the U.S. “But the President didn’t want to hear that, because his biggest concern was that we were in an election year.” Troye adds, “It was shocking to see the President saying that the virus was a hoax, saying that everything was O.K. when it was not,” despite what he had been very clearly told in private. Troye ends the video by calling herself a “John McCain Republican” and endorsing Trump’s opponent, Joe Biden.

is it your claim that Trump left them in the ladies room?

 

[jknowgood]

I just wonder how classified information got on Anthony Weiners laptop during the Obama administration.

 

[Sixties Fan]

Troye did not say that. I am not saying that.

Trump is not the only one to go around with classified documents. Clearly a female staffer or someone else may have forgotten it there.

 

[Sixties Fan]

I just wonder how classified information got on Anthony Weiners laptop during the Obama administration.

That was Hilary Clinton not knowing that the emails were classified and forwarding them to him.

 

[whitehall]

The Capital Cop who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt left his handgun in the men's room. Careless handling of firearms doesn't seem as serious as a piece of paper in the ladies room that is now considered "classified" (whatever that means).

 

[B. Kidd]

That was Hilary Clinton not knowing that the emails were classified and forwarding them to him.

A Secretary of State 'not knowing' what is classified.
That's a good one!

 

[Sixties Fan]

Those emails were not marked classified, that is why.

You get a job as a Secretary of State and then tell me about it.

Wasn't she trained on how to recognize classified material, or material that should be classified? I mean, you'd think the Sec of State would have that knowledge.

Those were emails. The classified ones need to be marked classified, and some were not.

 

[hadit]

Those were emails. The classified ones need to be marked classified, and some were not.

Again, wasn't she trained on how to recognize classified material and material that should be classified? She was Sec of State who routinely handled classified material. Do we just throw untrained people into such positions? Apparently so, as the major defense was that she was too stupid to know what should be classified.

Plus she is surrounded by experienced aides.

The whole problem happened because she set up a private server.

But you are changing the topic of the thread on purpose.

Why was a classified document found forgotten in the ladies room at the WH? How many more were forgotten in other places where anyone could take them?

So she is a critic of the Trump, yet she waits three years to divulge this information to MSNBC? Could be true but kind of suspicious as well. Who knows what the truth is anymore.

she should have known that from her time as First Lady.
