There is no evidence of that, & other Trump ofcls said they never heard of such an order.</p>
Nonilex<p>The documents that <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> mishandled were full of tightly controlled info that he stored on an insecure ballroom stage & in a spare water closet. Besides, the improper handling of <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/ClassifiedDocuments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClassifiedDocuments</span></a> was a key line of attack that Trump himself used against Hillary Clinton in 2016.</p><p>Moreover, the charges that Trump faced weren’t about taking the documents. They were about his alleged all-out effort to avoid a lawful subpoena & defy federal law-enforcement ofcls.</p><p><a href="https://masto.ai/tags/NationalSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NationalSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/criminal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>criminal</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>law</span></a></p>

Nonilex<p>Looking back on the 4-year Donald Trump interregnum, the failure of the case against <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> for hoarding <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/ClassifiedDocuments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClassifiedDocuments</span></a> is not the most serious or influential—that would be the utter lack of <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/accountability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>accountability</span></a> for Trump’s attempted overthrow of the government, including instigating the violent attack on the US Capitol—but it might be the most maddening.</p><p>- David A.

Nonilex<p>[post election] Smith dropped <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> as a party in [the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/ClassifiedDocuments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClassifiedDocuments</span></a>] case, & the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/DOJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DOJ</span></a> is continuing…w/the 2 co-defendants. Because longtime Trump employees Waltine Nauta & Carlos De Oliveira could still go to trial, Smith said in the filing Tues that he would not release that portion of the report & risk violating their rights.
<br>The litigation against the co-defendants is unlikely to conclude before Jan 20, which means it would fall to Trump’s DOJ to decide what to do w/the report [🗑️].</p>
