Trump Justifies Handling of Classified Docs, Claims Boxes Contained “Golf shirts, clothing, pants, shoes”
  • 10 months ago
Former President Donald Trump revealed in a recent interview that he hesitated to hand over boxes of classified documents because he needed to sort through them and remove personal items, golf shirts, clothing, pants, and shoes. In the interview with Fox News's Bret Baier, Trump cited his busy schedule for not immediately complying with the request. Trump also addressed claims from the indictment, stating that he wanted to remove his personal belongings from the boxes before handing them over. While Trump denied knowledge of any "Iran war plans" being among the documents, he has consistently defended his actions after leaving the White House, claiming the right to take anything he wanted under the Presidential Records Act. When asked if he still possessed any sensitive files, Trump vehemently denied having anything and expressed concern that authorities may have taken additional items without his knowledge.
