Jen Psaki

I mean, what?

Raskin goes on to say that the Justice Department redacted the text in the memo that followed incidents like these, so it's impossible to determine if any of those incidents led to the documents being compromised or, of course, taken by a foreign adversary.

More than anything else, the memo the Justice Department inadvertently gave Congress just underscores how much it is in the public interest for the Justice Department to give Congress the rest of the Jack Smith Report.

Take this example, for instance.

Raskin says that the memo shows that in June of 2022, Trump apparently took classified documents on a flight to his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.

Prosecutors determined that they identified a classified map that they believe Trump may have shown to individuals on board, an event that prosecutors believe was witnessed by Trump's now chief of staff, Susie Wiles.

The memo also includes a map of the aircraft's seating assignments and a list of the passengers, but the Justice Department redacted the list.

Now, Raskin points out that around the same time as that flight, Trump was entering into a business partnership with the Saudi-backed Live Golf and with a Saudi-backed real estate firm.

Remember after January 6th, most of the business world turned its back on Trump?

I mean, the PGA, which had held tournaments at Trump's courses for decades and gave the courses a whole lot of clout, even cut ties with Trump.

But then the Saudis threw Trump a bit of a lifeline.

They funded a brand new golf league, spending through the nose to poach players from the PGA and hosted their events at Trump properties.

That story has always been incredibly fishy, and now it is even more so.

I mean, as Raskin puts it, without access to Jack Smith's report on the classified documents or his investigative files, there's no way to know what that classified map contained or what the relationship was between the documents Trump stole and Trump's business interests.

Clearly, this is a lot more, there is a lot, lot more the American public deserves to know here.

But when Trump's press secretary, Caroline Leavitt, was asked about Congressman Raskin's demand for more information today, here's what she had to say.

I saw that letter from Congressman Raskin this morning, who I would add has zero credibility.

I think Jack Smith has been proven to be a liar and a fraud.

And this is, again, a cheap political stunt from a Democrat on Capitol Hill who I think wants to get himself on cable television.

And get himself on cable television he did.
