Donald Trump, yet again, has come under scrutiny. According to an ABC report, he told one of his aides – Molly Michael – to refrain from discussing “boxes” with FBI investigators looking into his handling of classified documents.
Trump’s Warning to His Aide
Following an FBI contact regarding the investigation into his handling of classified documents, Trump reportedly issued a warning to Molly Michael, a former White House executive assistant who continued to work for him at Mar-a-Lago. “You don’t know anything about the boxes,” the former president allegedly said to her, essentially telling her to lie.
Revelations by Molly Michael
Michael, in addition to Trump’s warning, reportedly provided investigators with crucial information. She claimed that the former president would often jot down to-do lists on the backs of documents that were visibly marked as “classified.”
Response From Trump’s Campaign
An anonymous spokesperson for Trump’s campaign spoke to ABC, asserting that Trump had committed no wrongdoing. The individual attributed the allegations to “illegal leaks” and emphasized the need for “proper context and relevant information” to fully understand the situation.
Federal Charges and Unsealed Indictment
It’s important to note that Trump faces a total of 37 federal charges in connection with his handling of classified documents. The indictment was unsealed by Special Counsel Jack Smith and revealed that the former president had stored documents in various locations throughout his Mar-a-Lago resort, including unconventional places like a shower.
The Internet’s Response
News of Trump allegedly telling Michael to lie to the FBI was shared across the internet and, for the most part, people were very critical. One person said: “For someone who lied all through his life, I am surprised that he is still no good at it.”
A Very Loyal Fanbase
Replying to the aforementioned commenter, another said: “He apparently doesn’t need to be very good at it. All of his lunatics believe every word he says, even when his words contradict other things he’s said. They’ll believe both things at the same time and somehow with equal passion.”
A Danger to Himself and Others
Others expressed concern for the former president’s mental state and questioned why he seemingly has no support from family. “Where is his family? Why isn’t someone taking care of him? He is a danger to himself and others,” one individual wrote.
Lies, Lies, Lies
A lot of people simply couldn’t understand why anyone would support Trump when he seemingly lies so much. One individual said: “Not only does he lie, he encourages others to also lie. This is what MAGAts want for their president?”
A Big Baby
Another person said: “The man is such a baby. All he had to do was give them back when they asked for them but he didn’t! Not because he had any use for them, but because they asked for them and he is too much of a baby to do anything that wasn’t his own idea!”
The Egotistical Audacity
Most people found the former president’s behavior absolutely astonishing. One person said: “Using classified documents for scratch paper and, no doubt, leaving them on his desk. The egotistical audacity of this sociopath is astounding.”
Trump Knew What He Was Doing
Another commenter wrote: “It’s funny that Trump knew what he did was illegal by hiding the documents from the FBI. He told several people to help him cover up this crime. But he wants to convince his followers otherwise in hopes that they will save him.”
A Slam Dunk
Others discussed the way Trump often provides evidence against himself in interviews. One person said: “Every day something else stacks up against Donald Trump and most of the time it’s something he confesses himself in an interview since he’s an extreme narcissist. If he doesn’t get locked up after all of these trials then these other prosecutors all suck at their jobs because this should be a slam dunk.”
Trump Was Warned
Echoing the aforementioned commenter, another wrote: “The evidence just keeps piling up more and more. Even better, what evidence isn’t there, Trump will tell on himself in an interview and provide whatever is needed. Does none of the cult realize that everything that he is being charged with is entirely on himself? He was warned, he ignored it.”
A Detriment to the Country
Plenty of people expressed concern about the future of America and the fact that there are still people who trust Trump. “I hope people understand how dangerous this idiot is to our country. Donald Trump is a pariah. He is not to be trusted and anyone trusting this idiot is a detriment to this country,” one individual wrote.
Witness Tampering, Obstruction, and Conspiracy
Others pointed out potential illegal activity. “Sounds like witness tampering, obstruction, and conspiracy,” one person said. “So… witness tampering then?” another echoed. “Not gonna lie, that’s witness tampering,” a third added.
A Career Criminal
Plenty of people discussed the way the former president seemingly thinks laws don’t apply to him. One person said: “Career criminal con man Trump really thinks laws don’t apply to him. He thinks he is a king or dictator or mob boss that can bully others and silence them.”
Trump Knew He Broke the Law
Another commenter wrote: “Let me get this straight. He claims he’s broken no law but told her to lie to the FBI? He literally told her to lie to the FBI? So clearly he does know he broke the law and also knew at the time. And people are still defending him? Insanity.”
A Felon as President
A few people discussed Trump’s 2024 presidential hopes. “Agent Orange is not a good person and should never be allowed to run for office ever again,” one person said. “This man cannot be allowed to run for president or any position of importance,” another echoed.
According to MAGA, Fake News
Trump’s fans said that he would never tell anyone to lie. “This is fake news. Why would he need to tell someone to not speak about something when he’s done nothing wrong? Categorically fake news,” one individual wrote.
