If this is the case, all charges should be dropped against Trump and his valet, they were just mementos?!!
Top secret documents which Donald Trump stored in his Mar-a-Lago resort were just “mementos” one of his lawyers said as his legal team began formulating his defense.
Alina Habba insisted he had done nothing wrong and would not take a plea deal to lower a possible prison sentence.
Mr Trump is due to appear before a Miami federal court on Tuesday to face 37 charges, including breaches of the Espionage Act.
“He would never admit guilt, because there was nothing wrong with declassifying documents,” she told Fox News Sunday, offering a possible window into the Trump camp’s court plans.
“He has every right to have classified documents that he declassified... things that are mementos, things that he has a right to take.
“So if I’m someone with documents that I have a right to have as the president who left the White House, do I want people rummaging through my personal items? No.”
It came as Bill Barr, who was Mr Trump’s attorney general, warned that if even half the indictment is true “then he’s toast”.
“Yes, he’s been a victim in the past. Yes, his adversaries have obsessively pursued him with phoney claims, and I’ve been at his side defending against them when he is a victim.”
The former president hit back at Mr Barr in a radio interview with supporter Roger Stone.
“This thing is a disgrace and virtually everybody other than a low life like Bill Barr — who I, as you know, I terminated because he was gutless, he wouldn’t do what you’re supposed to do — but everybody says this is a disgraceful indictment. It shouldn’t happen,” he said.
