Glenn Kirchner: Trump may have sold classified documents and should be "arrested"

Former President Donald Trump may have sold sensitive material that was missing from dozens of secret

marked empty volumes compiled by FBI investigators who searched his Florida home last month, legal commentator Glenn Kirchner said Friday.

"The most logical conclusion is that Donald Trump got rid of those classified documents after illegally taking them from the White House," Kirchner said in a video posted on YouTube. "For what purpose are they for? Did he sell them to America's opponents? Did he use it to blackmail people? Did he use it to take advantage of a favourable trade deal in one country or another? We do not yet know ".

43 blank files with "secret"

 signs were among the items found by the FBI as they searched for Trump's Mar-a-Lago home, according to an inventory released to the public on Friday. In addition, blank files marked "Return to the Secretary of Staff/Military Assistant" were included in the inventory.

"I think we'll learn exactly what Donald Trump did with those secret and military documents," Kirchner said. But there's one thing I know... 

It is the absence of a legitimate argument. There's no convincing argument. there is no convincing argument against the immediate arrest of Donald Trump ".

After discovering the empty secret folders, Kirchner said in a tweet Friday that "things went from bad to worse to unintelligible dangerous." Meanwhile, Harry Litman, a former US attorney, speculated that the former president may have "searched the secret papers to find out what he had."

He added: 

• "This invalidates the image of just combining them with T-shirts and M & Ms and keeping them in boxes."

• The disclosed inventory also included more goods seized

• by FBI agents from the White House and found during their search, including clothing

• books and other items, as well as official documents with and without classification flags.

Trump's lawyer requested the appointment of a special master to oversee the review of the documents retrieved in the search. Federal Judge Aileen Cannon, who ordered the seal to be opened, is now discussing this request.

The research authorized by Attorney General Merrick Garland was criticized by the former President and his followers, who allege that it was conducted for political reasons.
