Fmr. national security advisor John Bolton says 'it was a good thing' the Department of Justice put out the photo from the FBI's search of Mar-a-Lago last month. This comes as new court records revealed the inventory of records from the search.
. The inventory detailed scores of documents marked classified mingled with items like photographs, clothing items and newspaper clippings, as well as empty classified folders. "Well, to the extent that the newspaper clippings were treated like most people in this country would treat newspaper clippings, it shows a real disdain for the seriousness of the classification at issue," Bolton told Herridge.
"Often, the president would say, 'Well, can I keep this?' And in my experience, the intelligence briefers most often would say, 'Well sir, we'd prefer to take that back,'" Bolton said."But sometimes they forgot." "My concern was that he didn't feel that the confidentiality of much of this information was as important as we knew it to be," Bolton said.
After the more detailed inventory list was released, Trump spokesman Taylor Budowich tweeted Friday that the new list"only further proves that this unprecedented and unnecessary raid of President Trump's home was not some surgical, confined search and retrieval that the Biden administration claims, it was a SMASH AND GRAB."
