Rep. Jamie Raskin, a Maryland Democrat, said the Department of Justice has provided him with a “damning” memo about President Donald Trump’s handling of classified documents.
In a letter addressed to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Raskin said the disclosure was part of a cache of “cherry-picked” documents delivered to the House Judiciary Committee, of which he is the ranking member.
“These new disclosures suggest that Donald Trump stole documents so sensitive that only six people in the entire U.S. government had access to them, that the documents President Trump stole pertained to his business interests, and that Susie Wiles, then the CEO of Donald Trump’s super PAC, witnessed President Trump showing off a classified map to passengers on his private plane,” Raskin wrote.
The Democratic lawmaker’s revelations have cast fresh attention on Trump’s classified documents case, which was dismissed last year soon after the Republican president’s inauguration.
Trump has long denied wrongdoing in relation to the case. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Independent.
