House Judiciary Ranking Member Jerry Nadler contrasts Trump and Biden's handling of classified documents:

"[Trump's] facing additional charges for lying to investigators. And the reason why President Biden is not facing a single charge ... is not because you went easy on him, but because after reviewing 7 million documents, and interviewing nearly 150 witnesses including the president himself, you could not prove that he had committed a crime."

Nadler said Biden didn't lie in the investigation and isn't accused of directing his staff to lie either — as Trump is accused of doing.

'Trump Employee 5,' Who Moved Boxes of Documents Tells CNN He Suspected Trump Was Up to 'Something'

— A longtime Mar-a-Lago employee who’s now a central witness in the classified documents investigation is speaking publicly for the first time because he believes voters should hear the truth about his former boss before the election.


Butler told CNN how he unknowingly helped Nauta deliver boxes of classified information from Mar-a-Lago to the former president’s plane in June 2022 – the same day that Trump and his attorney were meeting with the Justice Department at Mar-a-Lago about the classified documents.

That day, June 3, 2022, Butler received what he remembers as a strange request from Nauta, who wanted to know if he could borrow an Escalade from the car service Butler ran for Mar-a-Lago. Trump and his family were about to fly to New Jersey that day for the summer, and it was typically Butler and his valets who handled getting their luggage onto the plane.

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins snagged an interview with a man previously known only as “Trump Employee #5” in the Trump federal classified documents case.

COLLINS: And did you have any time, any idea at the time, that there was potentially U.S. national security secrets in those boxes?

BUTLER: No clue. Nope, I had no clue. I mean, we were just taking them out of the Escalade and piling them up. I remember they were all stacked on top of each other and then we’re lifting them up to the pilots.

COLLINS: How many boxes was it?

BUTLER: They asked me in the interview, and I believe it was 10 to 15, is what I remember.

COLLINS: “They” being the investigators?

BUTLER: Correct.

COLLINS: And when you look back on that, now, what —

BUTLER: Well, I had no clue until probably the end of June. There’s a few different things that happened that kind of opened my eyes to you know, something’s going on here.

COLLINS: So, you get that unusual request. Did you ever think to yourself, why were there so many boxes at Mar-a-Lago?

BUTLER: You know, I, for me, I’m just thinking, “Oh, the former president, he has a lot of stuff he likes to lug around with him.” I never would’ve thought it was anything like what we see —

COLLINS: Classified documents.

BUTLER: Yeah,.

Hahahahahaha

BREAKING: Former President Trump is narrowing his choices for a running mate and is focused on three young U.S. senators, according to a GOP strategist with close ties to the campaign.

Sens. Katie Britt of Alabama, J.D. Vance of Ohio, and Marco Rubio of Florida are the top choices, Ryan Girdusky said.

Lindsey Graham Tells The Truth

Lindsey Graham when asked if Trump controls Senate Republicans, "No. I mean, I voted against things that, you know, he doesn't like."

Voting against things that Trump doesn't like would be doing what Donald Trump wants.

Trump thwarted anti-sex trafficking policies that Mexican activist (referenced by Britt) advocated

Not only did Katie Britt dishonestly co-opt the horrific 2015 congressional testimony of a Mexican activist relating events in Mexico during the Bush admin, the anti-sex trafficking policies the activist was advocating were thwarted by *Donald Trump* & reversed under Biden
