The claim by former President Donald Trump that he declassified the documents with classified markings found at Mar-a-Lago was challenged Sept. 2 as “highly improbable” by former Attorney General William Barr.
“I can’t think of a legitimate reason why they could be taken out of the government, away from the government, if they’re classified,” Barr, who was attorney general during the Trump and George H.W. Bush administrations, said during an appearance on Fox News.
