Donald Trump Assistant Admits Former President Wrote a To-Do List for Her on Classified Documents
New details on Donald Trump's classified documents mishandling case have emerged, and it was revealed that he used sensitive government papers as scrap paper, even writing a to-do list for his assistant on one of them.
ABC News released a report that revealed that former Donald Trump assistant Molly Michael has been talking to federal investigators and told them that "she received requests or taskings from Trump that were written on the back of notecards." However, she admitted to investigators that those note cards had visible classification markings and were recognized as sensitive White House materials.
These notecards were reportedly used to brief Trump regarding phone calls with foreign leaders or other international-related matters. They were among the many classified documents FBI agents saw when they raided Mar-a-Lago in August of last year. However, the FBI did not take these materials, sources told ABC News, echoing what Trump assistant Molly Michael told investigators.
Micheal reportedly told investigators that she was not present during the FBI raid, but she did return to Mar-a-Lago the very next day to clean up her office space. This was when she found the documents underneath a drawer organizer. She then helped transfer them to the FBI that same day.
The former Trump assistant also told investigators that she grew "increasingly concerned with how Trump handled recurring requests from the National Archives for the return of all government documents being kept in boxes at Mar-a-Lago." She admitted that what Trump claimed at that time was easy to disprove.
Donald Trump Tried Even More Witness Tampering With His Former Assistant
That was not all that happened, as Trump may have done some witness tampering on top of the classified documents case. This happened last year when he learned that the FBI wanted to interview his assistant, Molly Michael.

Before she was interviewed by the FBI, Trump allegedly told his aide, "You don't know anything about the boxes," thus possibly committing witness tampering.
As MSNBC pointed out, "It's almost as if Trump was concerned about his assistant telling law enforcement the truth, so he took the legally dubious step of subtly encouraging her to play dumb."
Previously, Trump told former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, "The less you remember, the better," as part of her Jan. 6 testimony. He also tried to publicly discourage Georgia's former Republican lieutenant governor from testifying before a Fulton County grand jury.
Donald Trump's Camp Still Denies Any Wrongdoing in Writing To-Do Lists on Classified Documents
Soon after ABC News released the report on Trump using classified documents as scrap paper, Reuters reported that the ex-POTUS is denying that he did anything wrong.
A spokesperson for the former president dismissed the ABC News report and called them "illegal leaks" and denied any wrongdoing on the part of Donald Trump, who has already been charged with criminal counts, including violations of the Espionage Act, conspiracy to obstruct justice, and making false statements to investigators in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case.
