According to the WSJ, he knew he was in the files. The Attorney General helped him hide the files. He likely has already destroyed the files that implicate him.
Now we need an investigation that makes Watergate look small.

Is everyone really going to shrug at Trump explicitly saying a sitting US Senator should go to prison based on claims that were brought into existence by what appears to be a highly dubious process? Seems like media orgs should be trying to answer the Qs that this raises about Trump's role.
Trump just said Schiff merits "prison" for the "fraud" an IG supposedly found.
Again, I talked to experts/former IG who described the process used here as deeply troubling.
This is becoming his model for manipulating bureaucracy to hatch pretexts to target foes:
