Mark Meadows states under oath that Trump’s tweets on declassifying the Russian probe documents were lies

White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows confirmed in court on Tuesday that President Trump’s tweets authorizing the disclosure of documents related to the Russia investigation and Hillary Clinton’s emails “were not self-executing declassification orders,” after a federal judge demanded that Trump be asked about his intentions.

What he’s saying: “The President indicated to me that his statements on Twitter were not self-executing declassification orders and not not require the declassification or release of any particular documents,” Meadows said in a court filing. “The President’s statements do not require altering any redactions or any record at issue in these or any other cases.”
