Verdict: False

The video, published on C-SPAN, is from a 2016 event in which then-candidate Trump delivered remarks on veterans’ issues. During the event, Trump made reference to his opponent Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified material while she served as Secretary of State under President Barack Obama.

Fact Check:

Aileen Cannon, a Florida judge who was appointed by Trump, will oversee his case alleging that he mishandled classified documents, according to NBC News. Trump arrived in Florida Monday ahead of a scheduled Tuesday appearance in a Miami federal court, ABC News reported.

“It’s not just extreme carelessness with classified material, which is still totally disqualifying. This is calculated, deliberate, pre-meditated misconduct followed by a cover-up that included false statements and lies to Congress, the media, and the American people,” Trump says in the video, which has been viewed over one million times. What appears to be tears are visible in Trump’s eyes while he speaks.

The claim is false. The video, published on C-SPAN, is from a 2016 event in which then-candidate Trump delivered remarks on veterans’ issues. During the event, Trump made reference to Clinton’s handling of classified material while she served as Secretary of State under Obama.

The video’s caption indicates the event took place in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Trump’s comments about Clinton’s handling of classified material begin at the 39:14-minute mark of the video. (RELATED: Did Donald Trump Use A Homophobic Slur In Reference To Ron DeSantis?)

Although Trump’s comments were made in 2016, they appear to be circulating online in relation to his ongoing documents case. Despite his comments predating his case, the former Republican President has neither addressed the claim via his 2024 campaign website nor his TRUTH Social account.
