In an interview, former president Donald Trump claimed he was allowed to do whatever he wanted with classified documents under the Presidential Records Act. However, the act actually requires classified materials to be handed over to the National Archives at the end of a president’s term. When asked if he would testify at his upcoming trial over classified documents found at Mar-a-Lago after leaving office, Trump said he would and looked forward to it, comparing it to the Russia investigation. He also said he would love to debate Meghan Markle and criticized how she treated the Queen. Overall, Trump maintained in the interview that he did nothing wrong and was within his rights regarding the classified materials.

    I will laugh my ass off if this moron actually takes the stand.

    Just don’t play the “drink every time you catch him committing perjury” game; you will absolutely die of alcohol poisoning.

      Just to be safe, don’t play it with “every time he pleads the Fifth” either; if he’s got any brains or decent counsel left, that’s all he should ever do.
