More items have been found. This one is a Top Secret standing order signed by President Trump that says any documents he takes to Maralago and puts in his safe are automatically declassified, which
18 former Whitehouse officials testified is "complete fiction".
Quote:
An anonymous source familiar with the process of declassifying documents and White House records [said] this claim is "laughable" and if there was a standing order, it was "Trump's best kept secret." A number of sources CNN spoke with also laughed at the notion with one senior administration official calling it, "bullshit."
One source ... told CNN that the former president was under the impression he could declassify any documents at any time, but was "counseled that's not the way it works."

Well look who's laughing now.
