Maybe Trump thought they were declassified…
Ari Fleischer, former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, just couldn’t wrap his head around why Trump would have classified documents in the basement of Mar-a-Lago. And he came up with a lot of imaginary excuses for Trump, none of which mentioned that the former president simply sees himself above the law.
“One thing I can’t wrap my arms around: If Trump had classified documents, why didn’t he give them back? Maybe he thought they were declassified. Maybe he thought it was government overreach. But if, for whatever reason, you have a classified document at home, you give it back,” Fleischer tweeted.
