Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows told special counsel Jack Smith's team that he could not recall former President Donald Trump ordering or even discussing declassifying large swaths of classified documents before leaving the White House, contradicting Trump's repeated defense in the Mar-a-Lago case, according to ABC News.
Meadows told prosecutors he had no recollection of what Trump described as a "standing order" automatically declassifying documents he took from the Oval Office, multiple sources told the outlet.
