Maybe he should have thought more about the documents that could prove his many crimes than the few he thought would exonerate him. Oh wait. He did. he took THOSE with him.IN HIS FINAL days in the White House, Donald Trump told top advisers he needed to preserve certain Russia-related documents to keep his enemies from destroying them.
[...]
According to a person with direct knowledge of the situation and another source briefed on the matter, Trump told several people working in and outside the White House that he was concerned Joe Biden’s incoming administration — or the “Deep State” — would supposedly “shred,” bury, or destroy “the evidence” that Trump was somehow wronged.
[...]
Trump considers the documents “mine” and has directed his lawyers to make that widely-panned argument in court.
[...]
The intelligence community’s resistance to Trump’s efforts to declassify sensitive material related to Russia and the election — specifically a classified report by Nunes disputing the 2017 assessment [that Russian president Vladimir Putin had meddled in the 2016 election because he wanted Trump to win] — reportedly led Trump to consider firing CIA director Gina Haspel in November 2020 as he moved trusted allies into sensitive intelligence positions, CNN reported at the time.
Trump never fired Haspel, and the House Intelligence committee’s classified report wasn’t released publicly. But both Trump and Meadows worked up until Biden took the oath of office to declassify information they viewed as beneficial to Trump’s narrative of “Deep State” persecution.
