Only after the midterms did the Washington Post come out with a story clearing Donald Trump of supposedly selling nuclear codes.
Remember how, on Aug. 8, roughly 30 federal agents executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago, the Florida home of former President Donald Trump—an unprecedented action. Remember that Trump says the material he still kept had been declassified – by him.
The FBI obtained the search warrant as part of an investigation into Trump relating to three federal criminal statutes:
- violations of the Espionage Act regarding unauthorized retention of national defense information;
- destroying or concealing records “with the intent to impede obstruct or influence” federal government activity;
- illegal removal or destruction of federal government records (without respect to cause).
And yet, it has all now evaporated! Pouf! Another Trump smear prior to an election.
Exclusive: Federal agents believe former president Donald Trump’s motive for allegedly keeping classified documents was largely his ego and a desire to hold on to the materials as trophies or mementos, according to people familiar with the matter. https://t.co/HQNtRMChJ3

Leftist conspiracy theorists have spent months arguing that he’d brought the classified documents home with him to share them with foreign agents — code for Russians — because he’s a traitor who’s working against America’s interests. They just can’t let go of that other fake charge The Steele Dossier.
Good article here.
