In a recent interview, he said, “I let Hillary off the hook. I totally let her off the hook.” He added, “Then I come in, and they did the same thing to me. The difference is, they actually meant it.”

The annex came from Special Counsel Durham and was declassified after pressure from Sen. Chuck Grassley.
-
Trump said his decision to let Clinton go was based on her status as a former First Lady and Secretary of State.

Experts say the document raises questions about intelligence handling, but does not contradict past findings that Russia interfered in 2016.
-
No new charges have come from the annex.
That clash in framing is mostly left out. Trump presents the annex as proof of wrongdoing. Others see it as political noise around an old, unresolved dispute. The same documents were previously reviewed by multiple agencies.
