President also held on to record from his first term so sensitive only six people had access, says letter from leading Democrat on House judiciary committee
Hello and welcome to the US politics live blog.
The White House says Donald Trump “did nothing wrong”, amid reports that he showed off a classified map on a 2022 flight to his New Jersey golf club.
The president also held onto a record from his first term that was so sensitive only six people would have had access to it, according to a letter released Wednesday by a top House Democrat.
The letter from representative Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the leading Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, adds to the public understanding of the investigation into Trump’s retention of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.
