CNN: Per the indictment, “[Trump] states on at least one occasion [on tape] that he did not declassify the information.” Jordan: “[Trump] has said time & time again he’s declassified all this material. This is the most political thing I have ever seen.”
Bash tried again to get Jordan to acknowledge that, per the indictment, even Trump admitted he did not declassify at least one document. “On July 21, a recording of a conversation that he had said — quote — ‘As president, I could have declassified it,’ talking about a document he was holding. ‘Now I can’t.’ That means it wasn’t declassified.”Bash then moved on to the topic of how Trump was storing the documents. “I’m sure you have seen the photos from the indictment.
“Again, Dana, the standard is the standard,” Jordan said. “The president of the United States, he can classify and he can control access to national security information however he wants. That’s the standard. That’s the Constitution. That’s what the court said in Navy v. Egan in a 1988 case. I don’t know how many more times I can say it. If he wants to store material in a box in a bathroom, if he wants to store it in a box on a stage, he can do that.
Jim Jordan repeatedly insists to Dana Bash that Trump declassified everything, *even though Trump himself is on tape saying he didn't do that.* Astounding stuff. Jordan then pivots to Hillary's emails.
