It is still not known if this document on the French president was classified or not. It was found in a box with the executive order signed by Trump commuting Roger Stone’s sentence. The inventory of documents found in this box does not make it possible to establish the nature – classified or not – of the document.
Apart from this topic, the interview of the French president with CNN mainly revolved around the war in Ukraine and the intentions of Vladimir Putin, the crisis of democracy and the middle classes in the West, or even the future relationship between France and the United Kingdom with the new British Prime Minister, Liz Truss.
