Despite Trump and his ship of lying Republicans, information pulled from the internet via ChatGPT proved the FBI and the Justice Department have routinely prosecuted cases of misuse of classified documents involving former and current high-profile government officials and FBI and CIA contractors.
Some of the notable cases include:
- Former U.S. national security adviser Sandy Berger pleaded guilty in 2005 to knowingly removing classified documents from the National Archives and Records Administration.
- Retired U.S. Army General David Petraeus, a former CIA director, pleaded guilty 2015 to one count of unauthorized removal and retention of classified material after he shared some of the materials with his biographer and mistress.
- Retired Lieutenant Colonel Benjamin Pierce Bishop, who pleaded guilty in 2014 to unlawfully retaining documents related to the national defense and willfully communicating national defense information to a person not entitled to receive such information after he stored 12 papers containing classified information at his residence and shared that information with a 27-year-old Chinese woman with whom he had a relationship.

- An FBI intelligence analyst was charged in 2021 with removing caches of classified documents, including sensitive information on government informants and national defense, for over a decade and storing them at her home.
Furthermore, the Justice Department did not indict Trump simply because he held onto classified documents. Trump lied about having the records. And when confronted, he blatantly refused to return them. Trump even attempted to destroy and conceal the documents.
