According to aides that worked in Donald Trump's White House, the former President was ALWAYS careless with classified documents. Many of the staffers who spoke to The Washington Post had never worked in an administration before, so they weren't fully aware of how bad things were until they learned on the job, but the claims that they've made are shocking, to put it mildly. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this new report.

According to a new report from the Washington Post, 14 different people that worked with Donald Trump during his tenure in the White House have confirmed that he always mishandled classified information. And in fact, before, uh, retired general, Mark Kelly came in as Chief of staff, there was literally no protocol in place on how to handle classified documents in Trump's White House. And to make matters worse, most of the staffers that were brought in for Donald Trump's White House, the people that that talked to, uh, the Washington Post, they'd never worked in a White House. They didn't have security clearances. They didn't know how to handle these documents, and they freely admit that. But they do know that what Trump was doing was 100% not okay, let me read this. He took transcripts of his calls with foreign leaders as well as photos and charts used in his intelligence briefings to his private residents with no explanation. He demanded that letters he exchanged with North Korean dictator, Kim Jong un, be kept close at hand so he could show them off to visitors documents that would ordinarily be kept under lock and key mingled with piles of newspaper articles in Trump's living quarters and in a dining room that he used as an informal office.

So basically, if you went to the White House during Donald Trump's tenure, it's likely you would've stumbled upon classified documents just sitting out there in the open, because as the report goes on to say that is literally what he did, they would walk into the residence area of the White House that classified like classified documents would be clearly visible, sitting out on tables for anyone who comes by to see. They would be in the dining room just sitting on the table waiting for anyone who wanted to take a peek to take a peek because that's how Donald Trump was. But it gets worse, right? Okay, We understand. 14 former officials said he mishandled classified documents during his tenure. We got that right. What does that have to do with the document scandal down here at Malago? Glad you asked. Because according to these individuals, they personally saw Donald Trump packing up some of these materials that they knew he wasn't allowed to have in the boxes that ultimately ended up down at Malago. Now, pay attention to what I just said, which of course is what the report says. They didn't see Donald Trump hand the document to somebody else and then somebody else put it in the box. They say they saw Donald Trump himself. Take the document, put it in the box that is going to come into play if Donald Trump does get indicted in this document scandal, because he would no longer be able to claim that, Oh no, they packed those boxes, right? The staffers packed those boxes, because that is a big question,

Right? Who packed the boxes? Because that person is ultimately going to uh, uh, harbor most of the liability there. Trump could have plausible deniability if he's not the one who packed the boxes himself. He just knew they were down at Mar Lago. Okay, well, you shouldn't have had 'em there, but you didn't personally do it. These people say that he personally did it. So even though nearly all of these individuals spoke on the condition of anonymity to the Washington
