DOJ position says presidents could legally sell classified secrets
Original: DOJ says presidents should be able to sell secrets on eBay
The US Department of Justice is being reported as arguing that a president should be able to sell classified secrets, with the claim framed as equivalent to putting them up for sale on eBay. The assertion comes from a piece published by the Freedom of the Press Foundation and is drawing attention as an extreme reading of presidential authority over classified information. Details of the underlying legal argument are not included in the available evidence.
Why now: The claim touches ongoing debates over presidential power and mishandling of classified documents.
