Trump on Classified Docs: ‘I Didn’t Have to Hand Them Over’

Ingraham: “Robert Hur, the special prosecutor in the Biden classified documents case, I don’t know if you know this but he is set to testify on Capitol Hill on March 12th. What is one question you’re hoping the Republicans, or someone who has some honesty up there, will ask Mr. Hur? And should Biden have been charged in the classified documents case?”
Trump: “Well, nobody else has been over the years, because, you know, Hillary took a lot and Bill took a lot. Bill took them out of his socks. They call it the socks case. Which he won with a very tough judge, which he won. Bush took them. Everybody — Reagan, everybody took them. Everybody took them out. It only became a big subject when I took things out. The difference is, I had what’s called the Presidential Records Act. I was allowed it do what I did. Absolutely allowed. That’s why they passed the act in 1978. They passed the Presidential Records Act. But you can only use it or be there if you are president. Biden wasn’t president. He was vice president.”
Ingraham: “Why didn’t you just hand it over when they were requested, though? I mean, they requested them. You could have just handed them over and probably saved yourself a lot of trouble.”
Trump: “First of all, I didn’t have to hand them over. But second of all, I would have done that. We were talking, and then all of a sudden they raided Mar-a-Lago. Do you remember, they said, ‘Could you put an extra lock on the door?’ We showed them where they were. We showed them. Unlike being under a Corvette in a little garage with the door open all the time. We had these things locked. We were surrounded all the time by many Secret Service agents. We had Secret Service all over Mar-a-Lago. You couldn’t take anything out. But what happened, and when you take a look, Biden didn’t have the Presidential Records Act. He is at great jeopardy, really. But they said, look, he is incompetent to go to court, but he can be president. Figure that one. In other words, he can’t represent himself at court because he is incompetent, but he can be president.”
Ingraham: “What should Hur be asked? What should he be asked?”
Trump: “Well, I just think you have to ask, ‘Why did you do it? You didn’t have the Presidential Records Act. And how did you do it as senator?’ You know, Dick Durbin, the senator, said there is no way he did that as senator. And then when he found out, you know, it’s pretty serious.”
