Here&#8217;s What He Said<\/h2>\n<p>An admission that Donald Trump made about his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/randy-quaid-considering-run-for-california-governor\/\" title=\"Randy Quaid Considering Run For California Governor\">legal troubles<\/a> during his Fox News interview might cause massive problems for him during his trial.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Fox News aired the first part of chief political correspondent Brett Baier\u2019s interview with the former president, where he asked Trump about the legal proceedings against him currently, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rep-comer-accuses-national-archives-of-stonewalling-probe-into-biden-classified-documents\/\" title=\"Rep. Comer Accuses National Archives of Stonewalling Probe Into Biden Classified Documents\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/roger-stone-announces-he-will-sue-those-who-arrested-him-and-put-him-in-front-of-a-kangaroo-court\/\" title=\"Roger Stone Announces He Will Sue Those Who Arrested Him and Put Him In Front of a Kangaroo Court\">classified documents<\/a> fiasco<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Trump was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/just-days-indictment-donald-trump-gets-news-love\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">formally indicted<\/a> June 13 in a federal court in Miami on 37 counts relating to his alleged mishandling of classified documents when he left office in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>While the exact details of the case are still up in the air, one comment Trump made to Baier about the case might have been a huge misstep that could aid the prosecution\u2019s case against him.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cBecause I had boxes \u2014 I wanted to go through the boxes and get all my personal things out,\u201d Trump responded,\u00a0 \u201cI don\u2019t want to hand that over to NARA yet. . . before I send boxes over, I have to take all of my things out. These boxes were interspersed with all sorts of things.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Trump appears to admit here that he did take classified documents with him when he left office, and that he kept them alongside his personal things, which one could argue constitutes a mishandling of classified documents.<\/p>\n<p>Now, to be clear, this is not an admission of guilt on Trump\u2019s part. He is not confessing that he committed any crime. It does, however, have the potential to make the case very tricky.<\/p>\n<p>Even at <a href=\"https:\/\/pjmedia.com\/vodkapundit\/2023\/06\/20\/did-trump-just-convict-himself-on-fox-news-n1704680\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PJ Media<\/a>, a Trump-friendly outlet that is skeptical of the charges leveled against him, veteran writer Stephen Green acknowledged that this could be a damaging admission that could cause problems for Trump later down the line.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWhat bothers me most here is Trump\u2019s lack of judgment,\u201d Green wrote. \u201cHe\u2019s worked his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bareback-rocket-ride-the-hunter-biden-story\/\" title=\"\u2018Bareback Rocket Ride\u2019: The Hunter Biden Story\">entire adult life<\/a> in one of the world\u2019s most litigious industries, headquartered in one of the world\u2019s most litigious cities.
