Trump Used Classified Docs as Scrap Paper for To-Do Lists: Report
A former aide to Donald Trump has reportedly revealed to prosecutors that the former president regularly used classified documents to write out to-do lists for assistants.
According to ABC News Molly Michael, who worked as an assistant to Trump between 2018 and 2022, revealed to federal investigators that Trump repeatedly sent her directives handwritten on notecards that contained classified markings.
In June, Trump and his longtime aide Walt Nauta were charged on multiple counts related to the former president’s retention of classified materials. In July, Trump, Nauta, and Mar-a-Lago employee Carlos de Oliveira were handed additional charges related to their efforts to destroy security footage from the property. Michael’s testimony could now become a key factor in proving prosecutors’ allegations that Trump not only retained classified documents he had no right to after leaving office, but that he shared the contents of the materials with individuals unauthorized to view them.
Sources who spoke to ABC News said a stack of the documents in Michael’s desk was not collected during the FBI’s raid of Mar-a-Lago last August. Michael, either independently or with help from Trump’s attorneys, transferred the files to the FBI the day after the search warrant for the property was execute
