David Aaron Quoted in ABC News—What Past Cases Reveal About Trump's Legal Exposure Following FBI Raid

Senior Counsel David Aaron was quoted in "What Past Cases Reveal About Trump's Legal Exposure Following FBI Raid," an ABC News article regarding investigators' inquiry into the possible reasons behind President Trump's alleged misappropriation of classified information.

David Aaron, a former Justice Department counterespionage official who prosecuted the case against Martin, said investigators will make a priority of determining why Trump would want to withhold certain records-particularly given his unique access to the government's most closely held secrets.

"You see this with contractors, you see it with mid-level civil servants, and now we have this situation-and you ask yourselves, why is a particular target doing this?" said David. "Some people latch onto classified information and just want to keep it. But then, with any given target who takes classified information, there is the potential for something more nefarious."

"With presidential documents, it's not like there are a million copies," David added. "A high-level official could be keeping the only copy that exists, or one of only a few copies."
