A trove of cell phone location data obtained by The New York Times allowed the newspaper to trace the movements and deduce the identities of Secret Service agents, members of the intelligence community, and high-ranking congressional and national security staffers, a report revealed Friday.
Among those the Times was able to track was a member of President Trump's Secret Service entourage who moved with the president from his Mar-a-Lago property in Palm Beach, Florida, to the nearby Trump National Golf Club for a round on the links with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, to a third Trump property, the Trump International Golf Club, for lunch, and then back to Mar-a-Lago.
