A Trump campaign spokesperson did not immediately respond to a question seeking comment about the Fox interview.
“He’s essentially admitting that he knew the documents were there,” Jacobovitz said. “That's inconsistent with saying, ‘It was planted there.’” In addition, Trump denied the Justice Department's characterization of a core allegation in the indictment — that during a 2021 meeting at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, he showed off a Pentagon “plan of attack” and told others that it was “secret” information that he could no longer declassify because he wasn't president anymore. But Trump, in the interview, denied that he was holding a specific document.
