Former President Donald Trump said in a new interview he was reluctant to hand over boxes of classified documents because he was “busy” and needed to sort through them to remove personal items, including golf shirts and shoes.
Trump spoke to Fox News’ Bret Baier in an interview that aired Sunday, his first since he was indicted on 37 charges linked to his handling of the sensitive files after he left the White House. Prosecutors have homed in on his alleged efforts to obstruct federal investigators attempting to recover the classified material, and Baier asked the former president why he didn’t return the boxes even after he received a government subpoena.
