"My point, in the beginning, was less one of condemnation about the way DOJ went about this," Short said, "instead of acknowledging DOJ has an extra burden of transparency in this case."

Short claimed that Trump's Department of Justice was "politicized" against him.

"So I think in light of that history, of course, there's going to be a concern from a lot of conservatives and Republicans that say you need to have extra transparency," he explained. "Having said that, it's certainly baffling as to why a lot of those documents are at Mar-a-Lago. It doesn't seem like it's the most secure environment."

Short added: "And I think there's also a question about why Trump's lawyers apparently were so misleading, potentially lying in the affidavit saying they returned all the information. I think, you know, there's a difference between playing a lawyer on TV and actually having good legal counsel."
