Republican presidential candidate and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie ® said Thursday that he believes former President Trump kept classified documents after leaving the White House because “he wants to pretend he’s still president.” “I think it was purely ego,” Christie told CNN’s Jake Tapper. “I think, Jake, he could not and still cannot…
