Description
At a rally in Arizona on Sunday, Trump made the same claim, alleging that Bush “took millions upon millions of documents to a reconstructed old bowling alley with what was then an old broken down Chinese restaurant.”
“And there was a broken front door and broken windows. Other than that, it was pretty safe,” Trump said, wondering why Bush wasn’t being investigated and prosecuted. Bush died in Houston in 2018.
Trump’s claims about Bush drew scorn from Bush’s son, Jeb Bush, who tweeted his response to Trump on Saturday.
“I’m so confused,” wrote Jeb Bush. “My dad enjoyed a good Chinese meal and enjoyed the 7 10 split challenge. What’s up with you guys?”
It’s unclear how Trump arrived at his claims about the elder Bush. A spokesperson for Trump’s post-presidential press office did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment.
During its search in Mar-a-Lago on August 8, the FBI seized classified documents, some of which were marked “top secret”. Trump is under investigation by the DOJ into whether Trump violated three federal laws — including the Espionage Act — by keeping the files at his Florida residence.
