    U.S. State Department documents containing sensitive government information were discovered on a public printer at an Alaska hotel, two hours before a high-stakes summit between U.S.
    President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
    Eight pages ? containing a schedule, several phone numbers of government employees, and a luncheon menu ? were found in a public hotel printer at Hotel Captain Cook in Anchorage, a 20-minute drive from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson where the two world leaders met Friday to discuss the future of the war in Ukraine."

    "Three guests staying at Hotel Captain Cook found the pages around 9 a.m. Friday, two hours before the summit began, according to NPR. It?s not clear who left the papers but seven of the pages were ?produced by the Office of the Chief of Protocol,? according to images obtained by NPR, which is part of the State Department.The hotel, which has 550 rooms, declined to comment on where the printers were located.
    Tommy Pigott, the State Department Principal Deputy Spokesperson, told The Independent in a statement: ?Instead of covering the historic steps towards peace achieved at Friday?s summit, NPR is trying to make a story out of a lunch menu. Ridiculous."
    A White House spokesperson told NPR that abandoning the documents in a public printer was not considered a security breach. The Independent has also contacted the White House about the incident, who was responsible for handling the documents, and whether it is considered a security breach."

    I wonder what a security breach is now
