The Washington Post, refering to unnamed sources, announced Friday that a portion of the classified documents federal agents held onto contained profoundly delicate information, remembering knowledge for China as well as on Iran's rocket program.
The report was distributed hours before the congressional council investigating the 2021 attack on the Capitol gave a subpoena to Best, convincing him to affirm and give documents relevant to its test.
Agents this mid year took in excess of 13,000 documents from Trump's home at the Florida club, of which 103 were classified and 18 were labeled top secret, according to court filings. Two past caches of documents got back from Trump's ownership to the National Archives and Records Administration earlier this year contained in excess of 220 classified documents altogether.
Trump took to his social media app after the Post distributed its report, disparaging both NARA and the FBI, floating several conspiracy hypotheses and appearing to propose that federal agents may have planted information inside the documents they gathered from his property.
Trump didn't unequivocally deny the report, nonetheless, and said that the agencies were currently "leaking" to media sources about the investigation.
The former president said the FBI and the Department of Equity "are currently leaking relentless on the Record Hoax to the Fake News," and also called NARA and different agencies "bad" and "weaponized."
"Also, who can say for sure what NARA and the FBI plant into documents, or subtract from documents — we won't ever be aware, will we?" Trump said, in an unconditional refrain similar to those that have become normal for himself as well as his allies.
Trump has recently floated the hypothesis that federal agents planted a portion of the actual documents at Mar-a-Lago and has been called out by a federal adjudicator who asked him to record the sensational claim. The necessity was later lifted.
Trump has denied any bad behavior with regards to the documents, claiming that the president has unilateral authority to declassify documents even by "thinking" it and that he did as such with those that were under lock and key — statements specialists say are at chances with the law. Trump's lawyers have also not given proof that he formally declassified any of the documents.
