Schiff says he's seen "no evidence" that Trump declassified documents found at Mar-a-Lago

Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff, head of the House Intelligence Committee, said Sunday that he has not seen evidence that former President Donald Trump declassified documents that were found by the FBI during a search of his South Florida residence, Mar-a-Lago, last week.

"We should determine, you know, whether there was any effort during the presidency to go through the process of declassification," Schiff said in an interview on "Face the Nation." "I've seen no evidence of that, nor have they presented any evidence of that."

The former president's attorneys did not object to the release of the search warrant and related documents, and he claimed all the records seized during the search had been declassified while he was still in office.

While a sitting president has broad declassification authority, Schiff noted that does not extend to a former president and called it "absurd" for Trump to claim he retroactively declassified the documents he took to Mar-a-Lago.

He also noted the statutes the Justice Department said in the warrant it is investigating Trump for possibly violating do not require information to be classified.

"If they would be damaging to national security, it's a problem. It's a major problem," the California Democrat said.

Schiff also said it's a "serious problem" if Trump's attorneys certified to the Justice Department that all classified information was retrieved when the National Archives and Records Administration obtained 15 boxes from Mar-a-Lago in mid-January, but did not turn over all classified or national security information. Some of the boxes the National Archives retrieved contained classified material and the agency requested the Justice Department investigate Trump's handling of White House records.

Since when is it okay for an AG to target and threaten a former President?

And the guy leading in the Polls.

Huma Abedin ALSO left a Secret document in her car unattended and it was no big deal I guess.

It's amazing how Schiff can see evidence that doesn't exist as well as not see evidence that does exist.

He is a communist POS 💩

Who made him an authority on evidence? He finds things that don’t exist, lies through his teeth and is just complete lying sack of you know what.

“It’s amazing how Schiff can see evidence that doesn’t exist as well as not see evidence that does exist.”

He has “faith”: “The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

“Show us where that is true.”

I don’t have to. It is true, and the left never needs to prove anything, so why do we?

Why would anyone continue reading an article title, “Schiff says ...”

Good point. I read the first sentence, and quit.

Schiff also saw no evidence that Ed Buck was the pitcher, and Adam was the catcher - because Schiff doesn’t have eyes in the back of his head.

OH! That was below the belt.

That is good info. Thanks.

Anything about a general declassification of anything and everything PDJT took to Mara-Lago?
