Trial Balloon · Ep. 190: Trump Is Everywhere

Trump Wrote To-Do Lists for Assistant on Classified Docs

September 18, 2023 · 4:56 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“One of former President Donald Trump’s long-time assistants told federal investigators that Trump repeatedly wrote to-do lists for her on documents from the White House that were marked classified,” ABC News reports.

“The aide, Molly Michael, told investigators that — more than once — she received requests or taskings from Trump that were written on the back of notecards, and she later recognized those notecards as sensitive White House materials — with visible classification markings — used to brief Trump while he was still in office about phone calls with foreign leaders or other international-related matters.”

Meanwhile, after Trump heard the FBI wanted to interview Michael last year, Trump allegedly told her: “You don’t know anything about the boxes.”
