Trump: I could declassify documents by thinking about it - update

Trump insisted in an interview with Sean Hannity that the documents at the center of the Mar-a-Lago probe were all declassified. According to Trump evidence isn’t needed. “You’re the president of the United States, you can declassify just by saying it’s declassified, even by thinking about it.”
