Top Secret




The documents spread out on the carpet at Mar-a-Lago, their classification markings clearly visible, are tiny drops in a tsunami of secrets kept by the U.S. government.

CBS News national security correspondent David Martin asked John Fitzpatrick, who managed the flow of classified documents in both the Obama and Trump White Houses, "Do you have any estimate of how many classified documents there are?"


1) How many classified documents are there?

2) Has it become harder or easier to classify information?

3) How did the 9/11 attacks affect classification? Why?

4) What is the 'Freedom of Information Act?'

5) What powers does the President have regarding classified documents?

6) What is the process a document has to go through in order to be 'declassified?'
