REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsWASHINGTON, Sept 18 (Reuters) - Donald Trump has denied wrongdoing after a report on Monday said that one of the former president's long-time assistants told federal investigators he repeatedly wrote to-do lists for her on documents from the White House marked classified. Michael became Trump's executive assistant in the White House in 2018 and continued to work for him when he left office. She resigned last year, in the wake of Trump's alleged refusal to comply with federal requests, ABC News said. A Trump spokesperson dismissed the report as "illegal leaks" and denied wrongdoing. Trump, the front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, has been charged along with two aides with illegally storing troves of classified documents at his personal residence and lying to federal investigators who sought to retrieve them.

"I was 100 percent confident that we were not doing an additional movement," Deere told investigators. Deere's testimony suggests that many White House officials were unaware of Trump's plan. "I have heard rumor of that," Deere told investigators, saying he couldn't recall who he had heard it from.
Trump has an aide who directs allies to call and praise the ex-president, The Washington Post reported. Trump drew criticism recently when he had dinner with Kanye West and a white nationalist activist. Molly Michael, a former White House assistant, will tell the people to call Trump when "there's nothing going on," the report said. According to The Post, Trump also has an aide who will follow him around on the golf course reading out positive news articles or social-media posts.
