Former President donald trump said the former US President George HW Bush “took millions and millions” of documents into a bowling alley connected to a Chinese restaurant.

“You put them together. And it had a broken front door and broken windows. Otherwise it was pretty safe.”
Trump’s claims were met with disbelief by Bush’s son, the former Florida governor. Jeb Bushwho tweeted, “I’m so confused.”

Why it matters: Trump also made similar claims about his immediate predecessor. Barack Obama, at the rally. He falsely said Obama took over 33 million pages of documents to a former furniture store in Chicago, according to Insider.
