Sen. Roy Blunt said former President Donald Trump should have turned over the sensitive documents recovered in this month’s search of Mar-a-Lago, even as he continued to defend Trump on Sunday.
“He should have turned the documents over and apparently had turned a number of documents over. … What I wonder about is why this could go on for almost two years, and less than 100 days before the election, suddenly, we’re talking about this rather than the economy,” Blunt said to host George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “This Week.”
Blunt also questioned the handling of documents by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former FBI Director James Comey.
