John Bolton Says Trump Is Lying About Classified Docs

Former national security adviser John Bolton told the New York Times that Donald Trump is “almost certainly” lying about why he had classified material at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

Bolton said there was no “standing order” to declassify materials that Trump took: “I was never briefed on any such order, procedure, policy when I came in. If he were to say something like that, you would have to memorialize that, so that people would know it existed.”

Said Bolton: “When somebody begins to concoct lies like this, it shows a real level of desperation.”
