I can't say I had "it's how they write their memoirs" down as a reason why former President Donald Trump would keep top-secret information at his private residence, but hey, what do I know? Rep. Michael R. Turner, R-Ohio, is on the House Intelligence Committee, and I'm just a journalist wondering why a member of the House Intelligence Committee would be OK with top-secret information being used in a tell-all.
"What use could a former president have for classified or top-secret information once he's left office?" CBS' Ed O'Keefe asked Turner on Sunday, in regard to the FBI's search of Mar-a-Lago. "Why bring it home with him to Florida?"
"Well, I don't know," Turner responded. "I mean, you have to ask him. But certainly, we all know that every former president has access to their documents. It's how they write their memoirs. They don't have, you know, great recall of everything that's occurred in their administration."
