Special counsel says Trump kept classified docs for business motive

politicsMar 25, 202630

Special counsel Jack Smith found evidence that Donald Trump kept top secret government documents because those records related to his business interests. Filings show many seized files concerned Trump’s worldwide business deals, and some were so restricted only six people could access them. The filings say Trump shared or showed classified materials to people WHO did not have proper clearance, creating security risks. Those findings form a central part of the Justice Department’s case, because they suggest a personal motive and potential mishandling of national security information.
