Andrew McCabe: Trump Shared Nuclear Information that a ‘President Can’t Unilaterally Declassify’

RUSH EXCERPT:

MCCABE: “Oh, my gosh, kaitlan. It’s so unbelievably sensitive. Nuclear information about some of our most sensitive national defense assets. And before I talk about that, I should just say, in response to the Trump team’s public statement, there is no proper context — there is no context — that makes disclosing national defense information to a foreign national acceptable or lawful really under any circumstances whatsoever. So, that’s where we are. This information is so sensitive that it is one of the very, very few categories of information that even a sitting president cannot unilaterally declassify. So, Congress has carved out special laws to cover nuclear defense information. This clearly would fall within that purview. So, it’s not something that Trump could declassify, even if he was president. And we know of course when this conversation took place in April of ’21, he was not. So, it’s just incredibly concerning.”
