Former Deputy Assistant Attorney General Harry Litman has reacted to reports the former president discussed possessing a classified document in July 2021.
An immediate pressing question is whether this document was among those later seized at Mar-a-Lago pursuant to the subpoena or the search warrant. My best guess is yes, because otherwise there would likely have been probable cause to search Bedminster and urgency to try.
And from an evidentiary point of view, audio tape with Trump saying that he’s limited in his ability to show classified documents is game, set and match as far as intent and guilty knowledge go. Blows the various “I am entitled “ claims out of the water.citing unnamed sources, also reported that Trump could be heard wishing that he had declassified the classified Iran document while he was in the White House at the meeting at his Bedminster golf resort in July 2021.
In a statement about the audio reports, a spokesperson for the former president said"leaks from radical partisans" are designed to"inflame tensions and continue the media's harassment" of Trump and his supporters.that the"leaks" to the media are"more proof that when it comes to President Trump, there are absolutely no depths to which they will not sink as they pursue their witch hunts.
"The DOJ's continued interference in the presidential election is shameful and this meritless investigation should cease wasting the American taxpayer's money on Democrat political objectives."
