Rep. Jason Chaffetz is asking the White House for information about security protocols at Mar-a-Lago after Trump pored over documents related to North Korea at a table on the club’s outdoor terrace.

Trump conferred with aides, spoke on the phone and looked over documents on the club’s terrace Saturday night after North Korea test-fired a ballistic missile, its first such test since Trump took office. The flurry of activity took place a few steps from where club members were dining, and some guests posted photos of the scene on social media.

The White House has denied Trump handled sensitive information on the Mar-a-Lago terrace. Trump spokesman Sean Spicer told reporters Tuesday that Trump was briefed about the missile test in a SCIF before his dinner on the terrace.
