Jill Wine-Banks on Trump Declassifying Intel: I Don’t Think There Has Ever Been Anything Comparable to This

‘It’s very dangerous and we shouldn’t allow it to happen’

EXCERPT:

MITCHELL: "Jill Wine-Banks, have you -- correct me if I’m wrong, has any other attorney general in modern history ever had unilateral right to declassify secrets over the DNI, CIA, over the agencies?"
WINE-BANKS: "I don’t think there has ever been anything comparable to this, but that’s because almost nothing is comparable to any actions that Donald Trump takes. And it’s dangerous to allow the president to have the unilateral authority to declassify things.”
