President Donald J. Trump:
“The National Archives did not “find” anything, they were given, upon request, Presidential Records in an ordinary and routine process to ensure the preservation of my legacy and in accordance with the Presidential Records Act. If this was... pic.twitter.com/XhjZeX2ujy
I don’t know the law on this, but it hardly matters. I won’t be leading any prosecution for these actions. The former President doesn’t have the authority to “preserve [his] legacy.” That duty falls on the National Archives. The Archives did “find” classified documents at Mar-A-Lago because the documents were not supposed to be there. Trump had no authority to take them there. He had no authority to have them, period. I know that much. Almost everybody does.
It’s funny Trump thinks these statements make a difference. He thinks because he surrendered the documents, he was following the law. At least that’s what he says now. He will always have an excuse. Whether those excuses matter, is all that matters.
