Meadows' Memory Lapses on Trump's Declassification of Mar-a-Lago Docs: Sources

Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows has reportedly told special counsel investigators that he cannot recall former President Donald Trump ever ordering or discussing the declassification of classified materials before leaving the White House. This contradicts Trump's claims that he declassified all the materials seized from his Mar-a-Lago estate by the FBI. Meadows also distanced himself from the removal of government documents, including classified materials, and stated that he did not witness Trump packing boxes or taking any government records. Meadows' statements could potentially undermine Trump's defense in the ongoing criminal case related to the possession of classified documents.
