Karl Rove, 71, theorized a Secret Service member ratted out the former president because they’re ‘sworn law enforcement’ and had a responsibility to report if they’ve seen the materials that Trump’s lawyers allegedly claimed weren’t there.
‘The Secret Service — and this is my own personal conjecture, I have no information besides the Secret Service is there — they have no statutory responsibility over classified material, but they are sworn federal law officers, they’re law enforcement. And they have a responsibility to report a crime,’ he told Fox News.
‘Particularly after a letter is sent from one of the president’s lawyers saying: “We don’t have any more classified material.”‘
He also claimed that the National Archive, which deals with classified material, were probably already suspicious when Trump claimed not to have classified documents, because the Archive would be able to see which documents were accounted for and which ones were missing.
