“In the days since the FBI seized classified and top secret documents from Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, the former President and his allies have claimed that Trump had a ‘standing order’ to declassify documents he took from the Oval Office to the White House residence,” CNN reports.
“But 18 former top Trump administration officials tell CNN they never heard any such order issued during their time working for Trump, and that they believe the claim to be patently false.”
“Several officials laughed at the notion. One senior administration official called it ‘bullshit.’ Two of Trump’s former chiefs of staff went on the record to knock down the claim.”
To be fair, the 19th person might have known something.
