The complainant describes how the transcript of the Trump-Zelensky call was transferred to a computer system administered by the Directorate of Intelligence Programs of the National Security Council, in a partially drafted appendix attached to his complaint.

This movement was worrying for some officials, who shared their concerns internally that this was an "abuse of the system."

"According to the White House officials with whom I spoke, this 'was not the first time' under this Administration that a presidential transcript was placed in this keyword security level system with the sole purpose of protecting information for political purposes , instead of for national security purposes. ”

The complainant does not provide further details of these accusations.
