Trump showed classified map to passengers on his private plane in 2022, letter from Democratic lawmaker alleges
A January 2023 DOJ memo alleges Trump displayed a classified map on a June 2022 flight to Bedminster, New Jersey, cited as evidence toward a possible felony indictment.
- On Wednesday, Rep. Jamie Raskin, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, released a 2023 Department of Justice memo from Special Counsel Jack Smith's team alleging President Trump showed a classified map to passengers on a June 2022 flight to his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club.
- The Trump administration Justice Department produced this memo to Congress earlier this month, providing insight into evidence prosecutors gathered before the criminal case was abandoned after Trump's November 2024 election victory.
- Prosecutors identified a classified map that they believe Trump may have shown to individuals on board, with Susie Wiles, Trump’s former PAC CEO and current White House Chief of Staff, reportedly witnessing the episode; prior allegations claimed Trump boasted of holding a Pentagon 'plan of attack' in 2021.
- Raskin accused the administration of producing a 'cherry-picked' set of documents to attack special counsel Jack Smith, while White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson dismissed the allegations as 'pathetic' lies from Democrats with 'zero credibility.'
- Demanding further transparency, Raskin requested specific passenger identities and the classified map's country of origin, arguing the Justice Department must stop the 'cover-up' to determine whether national security was endangered to further Trump family interests.
