The binder in question contained raw intelligence that the United States and its North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) allies collected on Russia’s alleged election interference in 2016, when Trump beat his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton for the presidency, among other documents, according to Reuters who spoke with a source familiar with the matter.
“Let me put it this way, if the government ever had evidence Donald Trump purposely handed classified info to a hostile power, he would never see the light of day again,” she wrote, who also added that the documents could have also been destroyed, lost, or kept by someone.
Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung told Newsweek in a Saturday email that it is “unprofessional” to ask if the binder was sold to Russia.
Trump wanted to declassify materials in the binder related to the FBI’s investigation into Russia’s alleged election interference, according to the source.
A federal court document filed in August by journalist John Solomon, who Trump appointed to be a representative authorized to access his presidential records in the National Archives, gives some insight into who had their hands on the missing binder.
On January 19, 2021, just one day before Trump left office, Meadows invited Solomon to the White House to review declassified pages and discuss its public release, according to the court document.
