MSNBC host blown away by massive size of Russia intel file lost by Trump administration
During an MSNBC segment about a Russian intelligence file that went missing after Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election, host Alex Witt was stunned to find out it was not a simple file folder that could be easily misplaced.
Speaking with Hannah Muldavin, who served as the spokesperson for the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection, the MSNBC host pressed her on how damaging the "raw intelligence" content would be if it got into the wrong hands.
As CNN noted in their initial report, the file was first delivered to Donald Trump and then handed off to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows with ex-White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson claiming she thinks Meadows took it home.
"Donald Trump was trying to declassify it," Muldavin explained. "On January 19th this binder was going in and out of the White House because Donald Trump wanted to get that information out and into the hands of the right-wing media."

"So why this is relevant and why it is still concerning that we don't know where this binder is, is because Donald Trump is the frontrunner in the Republican presidential primary," she added. "If he gets into power again, information like this that is really critical to our intelligence operations and understanding how we get information, who is trying to hurt our democracy, will be out there even more!"
"I read that this binder is ten inches thick!" a stunned Witt exclaimed. "I mean, you have to be doing this very surreptitiously. I mean, ten inches? What? That is huge! It is larger than a huge encyclopedia."
