Trump: I didn't keep classified materials -- only their folders, as souvenirs

Trump, 76, argued on his Truth Social media platform that the “Fake News Media & Crooked Democrats” continue to claim that he had a “large number of documents” at the Florida resort to lessen the severity of the revelations about sensitive documents at President Biden’s Delaware home and his Penn Biden Center think tank office in Washington.

“When I was in the Oval Office, or elsewhere, & ‘papers’ were distributed to groups of people & me, they would often be in a striped paper folder with ‘Classified’ or ‘Confidential’ or another word on them,” the former president attempted to explain. “When the session was over, they would collect the paper(s), but not the folders, & I saved hundreds of them.”

He referred to the folders as “ordinary” and “inexpensive” but said, “they were a ‘cool’ keepsake.”​ …

”It’s also possible that the Trump Hating Marxist Thugs in charge will ‘plant’ documents while they’re in possession of the material. As President, and based on the Presidential Records Act & Socks Case, I did NOTHING WRONG. JOE DID!​” he continued, proclaiming his innocence in all-caps. ​
