Former President Donald Trump adamantly denied asking a staffer to delete security footage at his Mar-a-Lago residence, saying that he would be willing to testify under oath against the “fake charge.”
The former president discussed the allegations against him that resulted in three additional charges being filed by special counsel Jack Smith in the classified documents investigation during an interview with Kristen Welker for NBC's Meet the Press that will air Sunday.“Look, it’s a fake charge by this deranged lunatic prosecutor who lost in the Supreme Court nine to nothing, and he tried to destroy lots of lives,” Trump said in a portion of the interview released Friday morning.
“I didn’t even have to give them the tapes, I don’t think. I think I would have won in court. When they asked for the tapes, I said, ‘Sure.’ They’re my tapes. I could have fought them. I didn’t even have to give them,” said Trump. Trump faces numerous charges related to his handling of classified documents, including obstruction of justice. Trump has adamantly denied the deletion of the Mar-a-Lago security tapes.
