It's really insightful.

Okay, coming up, for so long, we did not know what Jack Smith thought Donald Trump's motive was for hoarding classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, though we've seen the photos millions of times.

But today, we found out more.

We found out Jack Smith thought it was about money.

Congressman Jamie Raskin is the person who figured it all out, and Congressman Raskin is about to join me live.

We'll be right back.

For years now, we've known that when Trump left his first term in office, he illegally took hundreds and hundreds of pages of classified documents with him.

We all remember those photos.

Stashed them away at Mar-a-Lago and refused to return them to the government even after he was subpoenaed for them.

We've known Trump did all of that for years, but we've never had any idea as to why he did.

That is until today, because today we learned that special prosecutor Jack Smith identified a possible motive while investigating Trump.

In a progress memo from January of 2023, Smith's team wrote, Trump possessed classified documents pertinent to his business interests, establishing a motive for retaining them.

In response to this news, a spokesperson for the White House called Jack Smith deranged and a liar, of course.

It's kind of their go-to.

And insisted that Trump did nothing wrong.

The idea that Trump took classified documents, potentially endangering our national security so that he could enrich himself, may not be that surprising.

It's kind of on brand.

But it should be incredibly alarming.

Now, if you're wondering how we learned any of this information today, that is quite a story in its own right.

Because even though Jack Smith indicted Trump back in 2023, the case never made it to trial.
