Jeb Bush fires back after Trump attacks his father

During a rally this weekend, Donald Trump took a jab at former President George H.W. Bush in an attempt to deflect from the investigations surrounding his alleged storage of classified documents taken from the White House at his Florida Mar-a-Lago resort.

"George H.W. Bush took millions of documents to a former bowling alley and a former Chinese restaurant where they combined them. So they're in a bowling alley slash Chinese restaurant," Trump falsely claimed during his rally speech.

According to CNN senior reporter and fact checker Daniel Dale, the National Archives "sorted Bush docs for his library in a heavily secured facility (patrols, cameras, sensors) that happened to be a former alley/restaurant. As with Obama docs the Archives took to Chicago, Bush didn’t take them himself."

Jeb Bush took an opportunity to fire back at Trump's jab against his dad, tweeting, "I am so confused. My dad enjoyed a good Chinese meal and enjoyed the challenge of 7 10 split. What the heck is up with you?"

As the Washington Examiner points out, Trump has insisted that he declassified the documents "while maintaining that a president can declassify material 'even by thinking about it.'

"His legal team previously agreed that "it would be appropriate for a special master to possess a Top Secret/SCI security clearance" to review the documents," the Washington Examiner's Ryan King writes. "During the rally, Trump also demanded that authorities return the material seized. A special master, a third-party reviewer tasked with filtering out privileged material from the stash, is currently going through the records."
