US EditionTrump showed classified map to passengers on his private plane in 2022, letter from Democratic lawmaker alleges
Rep. Jamie Raskin says DOJ records reveal Trump showed a classified map on a 2022 flight and retained documents linked to his business interests, raising national security concerns.
- On Wednesday, Rep. Jamie Raskin released a Justice Department memo revealing prosecutors identified a classified map President Donald Trump allegedly showed passengers on a June 2022 flight to his Bedminster, New Jersey golf club.
- The January 2023 memo was part of a cache provided to the House Judiciary Committee, which Raskin claims the Justice Department 'cherry-picked' to discredit Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation.
- Prosecutors allege the retained documents were 'pertinent to his business interests,' establishing a motive for retention, while documents were so sensitive only six people had access, with Susie Wiles reportedly witnessing the incident.
- Raskin demanded Attorney General Pam Bondi produce all remaining investigative files by April 14, while White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson dismissed allegations as 'pathetic' and said Trump 'did nothing wrong.'
- The Justice Department accused Raskin of being 'blinded by his hatred of Trump,' calling his claims 'baseless,' as the underlying classified documents case remains dismissed following the president's 2024 election victory.
