Trump rejected lawyers’ efforts to avoid classified documents indictment
The former president was not interested in attempting to negotiate a settlement in the classified documents investigation, three people briefed on the matter said.
@Popehat ❝Trump’s unwillingness to give the documents back did not surprise those who knew him well. Former White House chief of staff John F. Kelly said that he was particularly unlikely to heed requests from people or agencies he disliked.
“He’s incapable of admitting wrongdoing. He wanted to keep it, and he says, ‘You’re not going to tell me what to do. I’m the smartest guy in the room,’” Kelly said Tuesday.❞
