ABC News is reporting that among the classified documents found at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home and resort after FBI agents searched the premises on Aug. 8, 2022, was a set of classified "notecards" found and reported by one of Trump's personal assistants.
The details, however, are so bizarre as to be inexplicable.
As described to ABC News, the aide, Molly Michael, told investigators that -- more than once -- she received requests or taskings from Trump that were written on the back of notecards, and she later recognized those notecards as sensitive White House materials -- with visible classification markings -- used to brief Trump while he was still in office about phone calls with foreign leaders or other international-related matters.
Got that? So this was apparently a set of notecards with "classified" markings that were created to prepare Trump for important calls with international leaders. And somehow these classified notecards were, once Trump left office, being used by him as scratch paper and being handed off to his assistant.
