WASHINGTON - Former US President Donald Trump claimed on Wednesday that when he was in the White House, his powers were so broad he could declassify virtually any document by simply"thinking about it".

By contrast, they have so far been unwilling to repeat Mr Trump's declassification claim in court, as they counter a federal investigation into his handling of government documents. "Because you're sending it to Mar-a-Lago or wherever you're sending it. There doesn't have to be a process. There can be a process, but there doesn't have to be.federal agents who raided his Florida home"Were they looking for the Hillary Clinton emails that were deleted, but they are around someplace?" he said. When Mr Hannity asked Mr Trump if he was saying he had the emails."No," Mr Trump answered.

On Thursday, the special master, Judge Raymond Dearie, also appeared to take aim at another one of Mr Trump's excuses - that federal agents had planted some of the records when they searched his Mar-a-Lago estate. In an order issued after the appellate court had ruled, Judge Dearie instructed Mr Trump's lawyers to let him know if there were any discrepancies between the documents that were kept at Mar-a-Lago and those that the FBI said it had hauled away.
