Why would someone from Team Trump voluntarily show this to the public? - MaddowBlog
The leak of a May letter from the National Archives to Team Trump about classified documents is a classic example of a political "own goal."In sports, there’s a phenomenon sometimes known as an “own goal.” The basic idea is, there are competing teams, each trying to score a goal against their rival, but sometimes things go horribly awry and a team accidentally helps its rival by scoring a goal against itself.

some memorable examples last year, noting Republican recount efforts, intended to cast doubts on the 2020 presidential election, which ended up showing Donald Trump losing by an even larger margin.
a May 10 letter from the National Archives and Records Administration . As Politico’s report added, the document showed that NARA and federal investigators “had grown increasingly alarmed about potential damage to national security caused by the warehousing of these documents at Mar-a-Lago, as well as by Trump’s resistance to sharing them with the FBI.”

It not only bolsters damaging reporting about the Mar-a-Lago scandal, it also makes the former president look worse, not better. Indeed, the NARA letter confirms that Trump took highly classified national security materials to his glorified country club. It confirms that the Republican’s haul was extensive and wasn’t limited to a handful of documents. It confirms that the National Archives was amazingly accommodating, accepting multiple delays in the hopes that the former president would eventually cooperate and return the secrets he wasn’t supposed to have.
