'It makes my blood boil': Former Trump aide furious about laughing heard on classified docs recording

Alyssa Farah Griffin worked first for Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley before going to the White House to work for Mike Pence and then Donald Trump. So, she said, she recognizes the seriousness of the documents that the former president is accused of grabbing on his way out of the White House.

An audio tape was released by CNN Monday revealing the conversation Trump had with biographers and his staffers, cracking jokes about his classified documents.

"The two things that stand out to me other than the staffer laughing, which makes my blood boil, as someone who used to handle classified documents," Griffin told her co-hosts on The View Tuesday.

War plans are among the most classified secrets, and the Iranian people are great people. We stand in solidarity with them. The Iranian regime is a rogue regime and one of the most dangerous on the planet. They've directed our U.S. service members to be killed abroad. They recently — Iranian-backed officials supported a U.S. journalist being assassinated on U.S. soil. Luckily we broke up that plot. I say it because if these documents got into the wrong hands, American lives could be lost."

"They're in the wrong hands!" Whoopi Goldberg interrupted.

Griffin agreed, but said that even worse than that, Trump is using the documents to even the score of a petty dispute.

"Even worse, why was he doing it, is my question," Griffin continued. "Because has a little tiff with my former boss Mark Milley, a patriot, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. And he wanted to be like, 'Look!' Mark Milley was wrong! Look at our war plans and secrets!' And he cared more about winning a spat with Mark Milley than protecting national security."

Hostin wondered why there were documents that Trump did return. Sara Haines posed that it was because they weren't as juicy.

"Everything about him is making money, so why not?" said Joy Behar.

"Exactly. I'm not saying it. I don't want to get sued," Sunny Hostin quipped.

"But to be honest, I wondered if some of the documents reportedly about the Saudis, as well," Griffin speculated. "He has financial interests, like the golf tour. I don't want to speculate too much, but that is, I think, it's what this prosecution is going to have to go into. He's already broken enough laws, whether there is intent in trying to undermine our U.S. national security behind it, but I mean that's something."
