Donald Trump advisers were reportedly alarmed recently after the president requested for the Declaration of Independence to be moved into the Oval Office.

According to The Atlantic, the advisers were quick to point out the logistical and economic challenges such a move would pose, especially considering the security measures needed to protect such a document.

The outlet recalled that the original document, displayed in the rotunda at the National Archives Building in Washington D.C., is stored behind heavy glass in an "oxygen-free, argon-filled case that can retract into the wall at night for security." There are even restrictions on how often doors can be opened due to light damage to the parchment.

Trump then focused on potentially moving one of the historical copies of the declaration, rather than the original, relieving aides.

Federal employees at the Office of Personnel Management are also suing the government, claiming that Musk had a private server installed that has not been vetted or approved for security. OPM's systems contain sensitive employee records for tens of millions of current and former federal workers, and the hack and theft of OPM records by Chinese hackers in 2015 is considered among the worst federal security breaches of all time. The use of a private email server by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was the subject of a criminal investigation by the FBI during the 2016 election and was bitterly criticized by Trump and Republicans at the time as a massive security lapse.
