Not sure if you altered the headline or the Hill changed it after you posted it.
Current headline is a little stronger, if you can make it match that would be great!
“Trump’s valet admitted they chose ‘at random’ which boxes of classified documents to return”
Admits instead of says.
BOXES of classified documents, not single documents.
I updated the title. Sometimes they change it or sometimes Lemmy auto-populates something close and I don’t catch the difference. Not sure what happened here
Yeah, me either, it was close enough to not merit removing it, but far enough to need fixing. :)
Does he think that makes it better?
This only further proves that the lawbreaking was willful— it matters not that it was capricious.
No, this makes it much worse. The flippancy of it all is just so vile, I get angry reading about it.
Flippant. Yes, excellent word use.
Gah! I want him in jail so badly!
OP edited an already bad title.
His testimony states that he chose at random which boxes were being moved and that Trump decided how many boxes were enough. Not all the boxes contained classified documents and the testimony states they didn’t know what was in the boxes, those that were returned or retained.
It demonstrates noncompliance with the presidential archiving laws but not necessarily the willful retention of classified materials.
Trump was having unrecorded meetings Putin and his staff regularly with no other Americans or white house staff present, only a Russian interpreter.
Some of the times when there was an official American interpreter, Trump would confiscate any notes or records of what was said
Trump was no doubt sharing documents with Russia.
Sorry for the Reddit link, but the post talking about this is:

And it sure sounds like judge cannon “chose at random” how to schedule the whole thing as well…
Random would be an improvement for sure. She’s getting 0% in a true/false test. It’s statistically impossible for her actions to be random at this point, unfortunately.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Nauta provides a rare look into the jumbled and hasty exit Trump made from the White House in 2021, after weeks and even months of partial and sometimes outright refusal to work with the Biden transition team.
As Trump was consumed by his efforts to overturn the election based on false conspiracy theories, Nauta’s testimony makes clear that the former president’s aides and departing staff were left with little oversight or support for their work to complete transition duties.
The filings also hint at the turbulent mindset of the former president during those days, which may be used by prosecutors to explain why he allegedly retained classified materials for his personal collection instead of turning them over to federal authorities.
On Tuesday, the trial is set to reach a new milestone with the expected testimony of Stormy Daniels, the adult film star who alleges that she had an affair with the former president, which he denies.
Judge Aileen Cannon just removed a deadline for his team to submit a key filing, which was originally set for this coming Thursday.
Trump’s team has pursued a strategy of pushing back deadlines and slow-walking the various legal cases he finds himself involved in.
The original article contains 509 words, the summary contains 200 words. Saved 61%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Because apparently he didn’t read those either.
