In a new interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier, Donald Trump defended himself against the special counsel’s 37-count indictment saying he was “very busy” and didn’t have time to “take all of my things out” of the boxes containing classified docs.
Trust and believe this will be played during the trial.
It’s worth noting that last week Trump’s story was the documents might have been planted by the FBI or DOJ. Now he admits he had them he just didn’t make time to go through the boxes…because he needed to play golf?
Trump also rehashes his 2020 electoral loss.

1. They were planted.
2. They were declassified in my mind.
3. I can keep classified documents.
4. I didn’t have time to go through them.How many excuses are we up to now?

Trump: First of all, I won in 2020 by a lot
Baier: You lost the 2020 election

How excited are Trump's lawyers that he's answering questions about his 37 felony counts like he's on the stand and Bret Baier is the prosecutor? https://t.co/sJF3YMu2Ql
