The former adviser to former Republican President George W. Bush emerged as an unlikely critic of Donald Trump after the GOP rallied around him.
Karl Rove, a veteran Republican political strategist, is drawing praise and incredulity online for saying Donald Trump improperly kept classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home.
Rove, a Fox News contributor, made the comments Friday during an appearance on the network to discuss a newly released document used to justify the FBI search of Trump’s home earlier this month. As Republicans have largely closed ranks in defense of Trump, Rove has emerged as an unexpected critic of the former president.
The U.S. Justice Department on Friday released a redacted affidavit stating Trump’s legal counsel had been advised in June that his private residence was not «authorized to store classified information» taken from the White House at the end of his presidency.
