A one-time top spokesman for former President Donald Trump says she saw the embattled Republican show off classified documents to guests at his Mar-a-Lago resort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stephanie Grisham<\/a>, who served as both White House communications director and press secretary \u2014 as well as press secretary and chief of staff to then-first lady Melania Trump \u2014 made the claim on MSNBC\u2019s \u201cAlex Witt Reports\u201d<\/a> Saturday when asked about her former boss\u2019s alleged mishandling of the top secret files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI watched him show, uh, documents to people at Mar-a-Lago on the dining room patio. So, he has no respect for classified information. Never did,\u201d Grisham told Witt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The 46-year-old then referenced a recently surfaced audio tape<\/a> of Trump, 77, discussing and apparently showing off \u201chighly confidential\u201d and \u201csecret\u201d documents to a writer, a publisher and two members of his staff at his New Jersey golf course in July 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou know, listening to that exchange every time, it just makes me so angry. He talks specifically that he should have declassified it, but he didn\u2019t. So there, I think, is proof,\u201d Grisham said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI believe also there\u2019s a portion of that audio where he says, you know, this is off the record. And I know Donald Trump knows the rules of reporters and he knows if it needs to be off the record that they can\u2019t talk about it. So I think he was covering himself in that regard.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
