For the second time in two days, Trump prejudiced his defense to charges of espionage and obstruction of justice. On Tuesday, a Trump-affiliated journalist released a damning letter from the National Archives to Trump, dated May 10, 2022. The full text of the letter is reprinted here: National Archives letter to Trump on classified documents | Just The News.
The release of the letter was Trump’s attempt to bolster his assertion that the search was politically motivated. Instead, the letter demonstrates that Trump willfully retained highly sensitive defense secrets despite repeated demands for their return. Moreover, the letter shows Trump was afforded unusual deference and delay before the National Archives notified the FBI that Trump had illegally removed and retained defense secrets.
