Fox News Host Floats Possibility Trump Tried to 'Sell' Classified Documents
Newsweek ^ | 8/14/22 | 8/14/22 AT 5:42 PM

Posted on 08/15/2022 1:14:10 AM PDT by conservative98

Fox News anchor Eric Shawn floated the possibility that former President Donald Trump may have tried to "sell" classified documents to Russia or Saudi Arabia.

The FBI executed a search warrant at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort residence on Monday in search of top secret and sensitive compartmentalized information, as well as other classified documents. The Washington Post reported Thursday that information regarding nuclear weapons was believed to be among the documents sought by federal agents, and a Russian-state television host said officials in Moscow have already studied the records. Trump described the report regarding nuclear weapons documents as a "hoax."

In a Sunday Fox News broadcast, Shawn interviewed former intelligence officer and Russian expert Rebekah Koffler. At the start of the segment, the Fox News anchor raised questions about what Trump may have done with the classified materials.

Shawn, citing reports, said that intelligence officials reportedly feared "either the material was being mishandled or even possibly illegally transferred...to others."

"And more questions are being raised this morning. Did former President Trump try to sell [or] share the highly classified material to the Russians or to the Saudis, or others? Or were the documents innocently mishandled and stored because he thought he had a legal right to have them?" the Fox News anchor asked.

Well, please help me get this straight, Eric. The man who never accepted one penny of his salary as president is now trying to sell top secret nuclear documents. The man named, Trump, who worked at least 18 hours/day every day he was in office trying to Make America Great Again is offering sensitive information to our enemies. Yeah, now that makes a lot of sense.

He made something up and then he’ll run with it and it is FAKE! He needs to go!”

If making sh!t up is a criterion for Fox making people go, then there are so many more in that boat. Start with the ones who called the AZ election for Biden even before the polls closed in that state. (Which I think might even be illegal now since the year Fl was called before the polls closed in Central Time Zone. I thought some legislation was passed to make that not happen again. I could be wronf.)

Because he needs the money. Has the FBI figured out the password on Hunter’s laptop yet?

The commie leftists can now go around proclaiming “... even Fox News says...”. This is all part of the plan to move public opinion against Trump and the MAGA movement.

He’s unwatchable, along with his sidekick Arthel Neville. At least Fox reeled them in from hosting all day long on the weekend - they’re both down to about 2 hours.

Unfortunately, that MO works for the Dems time and again. Worse, many people fall for it time and again because they so want it to be true. These are the same people who believe in communism no matter how many times it has failed.

Yep, incredibly irresponsible and puts Fox in the same bucket as the rest.

You’d have to believe PDJT is greedy to the point of being an “unthinking moron” to believe the billionaire would sell classified documents to the Russians or Saudis. It’s an absurd assertion said with no evidence, pure conjecture - not even close to “journalism”.

It’s similar to the report that PDJT likes to dress in drag, only on the 3rd Thursday of the month, while sacrificing 1 month old babies, all in a secret chamber at Mar-a-Lago.

Remember, Leftists project, so selling secrets is exactly what they would do.
Or are already doing.

Steve Doocey this AM on F&F, tried his best to convict Trump. He said it must be something really big to get a search warrant on Trump, and then he said Garland,the AG, would not be putting his reputation on the line, implicating that he must have the goods on Trump. Never did he mention, Hillary, Hunter of the Big Guy.

Such a charge would require a ton of proof to take to trial. They got none. This is just basic slander of the day for the audience.

Trump should sue Eric Shawn and Fox News for slander. Make him spend his money on legal fees.

Trump was right about FOX, they have at least a handful of horrendous “anchors” who al should be fired. Shawn, Baier, Cavuto, et al.

I don’t watch Fox and Friends any longer. They had always been my morning go to show. For the past six months I’m on Real America’s Voice.
