Trump's security issues

When Clinton was the Democratic candidate in 2016, a lot of concern was expressed over her handling of emails (suggesting she would be less than stringent regarding national security.)

Now that Trump is in power, I think its a good thing to list all of the security problems we have had regarding his presidency. So far we have:

- Disclosure of previously secret information to Russians in the Oval office.

- Holding a meeting with the Japanese prime minister at Mar-a-lago, in full view of resort guests, and with various workers using their cell phones to provide light (which could be a security problem)

- Keeping Flynn around in the administration for over 2 weeks after problems related to him began to surface (during which time he could have been a target for blackmail, or acted in a way that was detrimental to the U.S.)

- Use of temporary security clearances for various members of the Trump administration (including Rob Porter who had been accused of domestic abuse), and personally overriding the recommendations of security experts in providing security clearances to Kushner and Ivanka, as well as dozens of other White House workers. (The person who is currently handling the security clearances, Carl Kline, has been accused of mishandling the security files. The white house's response? Suspend the person making the accusation.)

- The former owner of a massage parlor may have been selling access to Trump.

- Use of unsecured cell phones during at least part of his presidency

Any other security problems that I've overlooked?
