CNS News– In a shocking turn of events, former President Donald Trump, while preparing for a legal battle over classified documents, made a stunning confession in a televised interview with Newsmax’s Greg Kelly. Trump openly admitted to taking classified documents, claiming he did so legally and without any attempt to hide them.
Trump described packing away these documents while vacating the White House, saying, “I took ’em very legally,” and adding, “And I wasn’t hiding them.” He further explained that the boxes containing the documents were mixed with clothing and other personal items as part of the moving process.
This admission comes as a significant blow to Trump’s defense team, who were preparing to argue for the dismissal of his criminal case involving the mishandling of classified information. Trump’s defense had previously claimed he had the authority to declassify documents, despite no longer being president. However, Trump’s recent admission directly contradicts this defense, further complicating his legal situation.
Additionally, Trump’s claim that President Joe Biden also kept classified documents in his garage, while the FBI seized thousands of records at Mar-a-Lago, adds a bizarre twist to the story. It raises questions about Trump’s motives and his handling of sensitive information.

In a separate development, one of Trump’s former employees, referred to as “Trump Employee 5” in court documents, confessed to being part of a plan to transport classified documents from Mar-a-Lago to Bedminster, New Jersey, just months before a raid by the FBI at the Florida estate. This revelation adds another layer of intrigue to the case and suggests a coordinated effort to remove and conceal these documents.
Overall, Trump’s confession has significantly weakened his defense and raised serious questions about his actions regarding classified information. The legal implications of his admission remain to be seen, but this development will significantly impact his ongoing legal battles.
