- President Donald Trump allegedly kept classified documents tied to his “business interests” and showed passengers on his private plane a top-secret map, according to a “damning” DOJ memo.
- Rep. Jamie Raskin, a Maryland Democrat, said the memo concerning Trump's handling of classified documents was part of a cache of “cherry-picked” files delivered to the House Judiciary Committee.
- “These new disclosures suggest that Donald Trump stole documents so sensitive that only six people in the entire U.S. government had access to them, that the documents President Trump stole pertained to his business interests, and that Susie Wiles, then the CEO of Donald Trump’s super PAC, witnessed President Trump showing off a classified map to passengers on his private plane,” Raskin, the ranking member of the committee, wrote in a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi.
- Trump's classified documents case was dismissed in July 2024, over a year after he was indicted for allegedly keeping hundreds of classified materials at his Mar-a-Lago estate after leaving office.
- Both the White House and the Department of Justice dismissed Raskin's claims, calling them "pathetic" and "baseless" and accusing him of being motivated by hatred.
