"The meeting was conducted in the open, in front of members of the club, with cellphone lights pointing toward sensitive documents. The decision-making about responding to North Korea was "on full view to fellow diners," CNN reported. "Trump's National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and Chief Strategist Steve Bannon left their seats to huddle closer to Trump as documents were produced and phone calls were placed to officials in Washington and Tokyo," according to CNN. "The patio was lit only with candles and moonlight, so aides used the camera lights on their phones to help the stone-faced Trump and Abe read through the documents." John Cook, a journalist, said that it was likely unsafe to be pointing phones, whose cameras and microphones can be hacked, at sensitive documents, tweeting on Sunday, "We used to put our phones in fridges to talk about Snowden docs at The Intercept. These ... are POINTING THEIR PHONES at class[ified] info." It is unclear if Trump had his unsecured Android phone with him during the briefing, which he still carries around with him to send tweets, according to The New York Times."
