Trump wants other presidents investigated – KRLD

Former President Donald Trump is claiming the Mar-a-Lago raid and subsequent investigations into his possible mishandling of classified documents a "hoax." He also thinks other presidents should be under investigation.

At a rally in Nevada on Saturday, Trump claimed that former presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush, and Barack Obama were all much worse than him about retaining documents.

He said those presidents were given "all the time they needed" when it came to their documents -- something he claims he was not afforded.

"Just look at how every other president has been treated when they left office. Very interesting," Trump said, according to Mediaite. "They've been given all the time, all the time needed, because you're supposed to have as much time as you need, and complete deference when it came to their documents and their papers."

The former president then went on to single out Obama.

"Barack Hussein Obama moved more than 20 truckloads, over 33 million pages of documents, both classified and unclassified, to a poorly built and totally unsafe former furniture store located in a rather bad neighborhood in Chicago. With no security, by the way," he said.

Trump also took aim at George W. Bush, saying he stored "68 million pages in a warehouse in Texas and lost 22 million White House emails." He said Bill Clinton took "millions of documents from the White House to a former car dealership in Arkansas...and kept classified recordings in his sock drawer."

Trump also mentioned Hillary Clinton deleting "33,000 emails under congressional subpoena," and George H.W. Bush taking "millions of documents to a former bowling alley and a former Chinese restaurant... with no security and a broken front door."

"When will they investigate and prosecute Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, George Bush, and look into what took place with George Bush's father, a very nice man," he asked rhetorically. "Are they under potential prosecution? I don't think so. I don't think they are."

"They should give me back everything that they've taken, he added.

Trump said in contrast, he only had a "small number of boxes in storage at Mar-a-Lago" which were guarded by the Secret Service.

"The FBI with many, many people raided my house. It's in violation, by the way, of the Fourth Amendment, and many other things also," he said. "There is no crime... but they make it sound like the greatest crime in America was committed. And we've got all these warehouses that are just falling down buildings essentially, loaded up with just millions and millions of pages of previous presidents and nothing was ever said about it."
