joining us this evening. remember back in august last year, when the fbi searched trump s mar-a-lago home looking for classified documents, documents they believed the former president has knowingly stashed away? trump complained very loudly and publicly about that. he also fund-raise off it and took every opportunity to put out what a victim he was of a deep state witch hunt. but his first real defense, first real justification for why he kept all of the documents in the first place, that came in the form of a statement released exclusively to fox news, quote, president trump had a standing order that documents remained from the oval office and taken into the residence were deemed to be declassified the moment he removed them. the idea that some paper pushing bureaucrat with classification authority delegated by the president needs to approve the declassification is absurd. so that was trump s defense. he had a standing order to declassify all these documents, whatever a sta
