said in court filings that a former Trump administration official told investigators that Trump, as president, had "no standing declassification order" regarding documents in his possession.
The former official, who had "free access to and the Oval Office, and was in the Oval Office daily," told prosecutors there was "no standing declassification order," and that they had "never heard of that while in the White House."to one media outlet claiming that, while still in office, Trump had issued "a standing order that documents removed from the Oval Office and taken to the residence were deemed to be declassified the moment he removed them.
By late November of 2021, the warnings grew more stark, the former official told investigators. The former official describes telling Trump, who was dressed in golf attire, "Whatever you have, give everything back. Don't give them a reason to indict you, because they will." That interview, with another former Trump administration official whose name is redacted but is identified as "Per 40," describes how Trump was "fond of certain documents," including the North Korean letters.
