"As president, I could have declassified, but now I can’t," he said, according to the transcript.

Evidence (2024-10-07): Donald Trump's handling of United States government records, especially those containing classified information, during his tenure as the 45th U.S. president has come under scrutiny. A number of incidents in which the president disclosed classified information to foreign powers and private individuals have become publicly known, sometimes with distinct national security and diplomatic consequences.[1] [...] 2017 Oval Office incident with Russia [edit]President Donald Trump discussed classified information during an Oval Office meeting on May 10, 2017, with the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and the Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. The information was provided by a U.S. ally and concerned a planned Islamic State (ISIL) operation, providing sufficient detail that the Russians could use to deduce the identity of the ally and the manner in which it was collected, according to current and former government officials.[27][28][29][30][31] The meeting had been closed to the U.S. press, although a photographer from the Russian press contingent was present.[26] The disclosure was first reported in The Washington Post on May 15, 2017. White House staff initially denied the report, but the following day, Trump defended the disclosure, stating that he has the "absolute right" to "share" intelligence with Russia.[32] [...] - ^ Shapero, Julia (July 4, 2023).

Evidence (2023-05-31): The recording indicates Trump understood he retained classified material after leaving the White House, according to multiple sources familiar with the investigation. On the recording, Trump’s comments suggest he would like to share the information but he’s aware of limitations on his ability post-presidency to declassify records, two of the sources said. [...] The recording that’s now in the hands of prosecutors shows they are not only looking at Trump’s actions regarding classified documents recovered from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, but also at what happened at Bedminster a year earlier. [...] Earlier this year, Trump’s legal team told Congress that classified material was inadvertently packed up at the end of the administration. Most recently, Trump told CNN at a town hall that materials were "automatically declassified" when he took them.

Evidence (2023-06-01): US prosecutors have obtained an audio recording of Donald Trump in which he acknowledges keeping a classified document after leaving the White House. [...] The justice department is investigating Mr Trump's handling of classified material. He denies wrongdoing. [...] The tape appears to contradict Mr Trump's repeated argument that he declassified all material he removed from the White House. It could also prove to be a key piece of evidence if prosecutors seek to show the former president was aware he should not be in possession of classified documents.

Evidence (2022-10-17): It’s why he continues to push debunked election fraud conspiracies. And it’s why he continues to act – for his base – like he is still president. Being able to, in the course of a conversation, to say to someone (using Christie’s words) "I’ve got this classified document" helps preserve the illusion that Trump remains, at some level, still in power. He still (at least his own mind) has the trappings of being president, which allows him to act (and more importantly be regarded) as president. To be clear: The reasons why Trump decided to keep classified materials at Mar-a-Lago to is largely irrelevant as part of the ongoing Department of Justice investigation into his retention of those documents. Trump did what he did and the DOJ investigation is less interested in the "why" than the "what." But as a way to understand Trump’s psyche, Christie’s observation is invaluable. Trump is deeply invested in continuing to appear as though he is president. The retention of classified documents just make him sound and seem like he is still important.

Evidence (2024-07-19): This fact check originally appeared on PolitiFact. MILWAUKEE — Former President Donald Trump closed the Republican National Convention by accepting the presidential nomination and offering a speech that began somber and turned combative. WATCH: Donald Trump speaks at 2024 Republican National Convention First, he recounted surviving an assassination attempt five days earlier in Butler, Pennsylvania. "You’ll never hear it from me again a second time because it’s too painful to tell," Trump told a hushed audience. "I stand before you in this arena only by the grace of Almighty God." When Trump said, "I’m not supposed to be here tonight," the audience chanted, "Yes you are. Yes you are." Onstage, Trump kissed the firefighter’s uniform of Corey Comperatore, whom Trump’s would-be assassin killed. After about 20 minutes, Trump’s speech shifted. He countered Democrats’ claims that he endangers democracy, praised the federal judge who dismissed the classified documents case against him and called the legal charges "partisan witch hunts." Though he criticized the policies of his opponent, Democratic President Joe Biden, Trump said he’d avoid naming him. Trump occasionally offered conciliatory notes, but more often repeated questionable assertions we’ve repeatedly fact-checked. Here are some.

Evidence (2024-10-02): For those who’ve kept an eye on Donald Trump’s rhetoric over time, he has some unmistakable tells. When the former president tells stories, for example, about big, burly men who profess their love for him while crying, he’s lying. When he vows to release information in "two weeks," he’s lying. [...] In June 2023, Trump published an item to his social media platform, declaring that he’d been "totally exonerated" in the classified documents scandal. That was also the opposite of the truth.

Evidence (2024-03-12): Trump is under criminal indictment for knowingly hanging on to to classified records at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida and resisting turning them over, perhaps the most damning — and stickiest — of the four criminal cases against him. Biden, for his part, faces no charges. [...] The Republican former president, who is on a glidepath to his party’s nomination this year, has been charged with dozens of felony counts related to his handling of classified materials stored at his Florida estate after leaving the White House. Trump has been crying foul on the campaign trail for much of the last year, noting that Biden had also stored classified materials in his garage. [...] The statement had echoes of former President Donald Trump, who has been charged with illegally possessing classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate after he left office.

Evidence (2023-10-14): Smith has charged Trump with dozens of felonies for allegedly hoarding national security secrets after his presidency, and trying to obstruct government efforts to recover those documents. Trump has pleaded not guilty. Yet at a Wednesday night rally in Florida, Trump boasted anew about information that he suggested might be classified, and he repeated past claims that he was justified in keeping sensitive documents at his Mar-a-Lago home and private club. [...] One former intelligence official who served during the Trump administration reacted with dismay when told of Trump’s remarks. The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive material, said that what the former president discussed was classified information when the former official was in government. [...] Cobb also pointed to a particularly self-destructive claim made by Trump not long after his indictment. He said an alleged incident involving a classified document about Iran never happened — only to have a recording of the conversation come to light and a criminal charge about that specific document added to his indictment.

Evidence (2024-02-08): "I know what the hell I am doing," Biden fumed in the Diplomatic Room of the White House, as he defended his faculties and bristled with anger. Biden also pointed out that Hur’s report drew distinctions between his handling of classified material and Donald Trump’s allegedly criminal and obstructive conduct on the same issue over which the ex-president faces a future criminal trial.

Evidence (2023-06-13): No, Donald Trump's classified documents case is not like Joe Biden or Hillary Clinton cases [...] In one recording obtained by investigators, Trump can be heard -- six months after leaving office -- showing a writer and three others what he calls a "secret" document, prosecutors allege. "As president I could have declassified it ... [but] now I can't," he said on the recording, according to the indictment. [...] The indictment against Trump alleges that his "refusal to return" so many classified documents -- despite "months of demands" by the National Archives and a federal grand jury subpoena -- and the conspiracy he allegedly launched to "hide and conceal" his "continued possession of documents with classification markings" reflects his intent.

The quotes in his novels, novelettes, and novellas, showed the world his ideologies and thoughts.

He describes how some people invalidate scientific theories and view them as junk when they got formed by the scientific method. [...] Isaac Asimov used the quote above to explain one of his thoughts on intelligence and evolution. He stressed that intelligence might have been an accident and not a gift. He made this statement because he believed that many humans bask in anti-intellectualism though they claim to be intelligent.

Evidence (2019-08-05): The man who wrote this was a renowned and prolific American science fiction and science author, in addition to being a biochemistry professor.

Evidence (2016-07-02): Assumptions—we can’t function without them, but sometimes they mislead and get us into trouble.
