Donald Trump addresses election rigging in Meet the Press interview
Donald Trump tried to silence a former aide about what she knew about the boxes of classified documents he kept at Mar-a-Lago after leaving the White House, according to an ABC News report.
Molly Michael, who worked as an assistant to Mr Trump at the White House and after he left office, reportedly told federal investigators that he told her to stay quiet when he learned they wanted to speak to her.
“You don’t know anything about the boxes,” Mr Trump allegedly told her.
Ms Michael has since told investigators the former president would often write to-do lists for her on the back of classified documents.
A Trump spokesperson denied the claims, insisting he “did nothing wrong”.
The revelation comes as Volodyrmr Zelensky challenged Mr Trump during his speech at the UN General Assembly to reveal his apparent plans for how he could end Russia’s war with Ukraine in a single day.
Mr Trump responded on Truth Social by joining in the far-right outrage over the US’s spending on Ukraine.
“Our Country has spent almost 200 Billion Dollars more than the countries of Europe in fighting go Ukraine. Does anybody think this is fair and reasonable?” he wrote.
