Trump's shifting justifications for keeping classified documents raise concerns.
Former President Donald Trump offered multiple justifications for keeping classified material after leaving the White House and refusing to give them back to the National Archives and Records Administration. His former Cabinet secretaries, including William Barr and Mark Esper, have criticized his conduct and warned of national security risks. Trump's changing explanations and unwillingness to cooperate with records laws raise concerns about his fitness to lead the country again. Trump's prosecution in relation to the aftermath of the 2020 election is still a possibility.
