DONALD TRUMP SAID he “absolutely” plans to testify in the federal government’s case against him regarding classified documents he removed from the White House. “I’m allowed to do whatever I want … I’m allowed to do everything I did,” the former president told conservative podcast host Hugh Hewitt.
In an interview on “The Hugh Hewitt Show” that dropped Wednesday, the host asked Trump, “Did you direct anyone to move the boxes, Mr. President? Did you tell anyone to move the boxes?” referring to the boxes of more than 300 classified documents the federal government seized last year from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
“I don’t talk about anything. You know why? Because I’m allowed to do whatever I want. I come under the Presidential Records Act,” Trump replied, while also taking a quick detour to bash Hewitt. “I’m not telling you. You know, every time I talk to you, ‘Oh, I have a breaking story.’ You don’t have any story. I come under the Presidential Records Act. I’m allowed to do everything I did.”
The Presidential Records Act requires that all presidential records be transferred into the custody of the National Archives at the end of the administration.
That doesn’t make it a crime to keep a few papers as a souvenir. Biden did the same thing btw he kept souvenir papers in the garage with his cool car. They all do it.
yes it does make it a crime 100%, that’s the whole reason Trump’s being charged with stealing classified documents because it violates the presidential records act that’s how this shit works
Wrong, it’s not a crime. It’s a wild goose chase
I don’t think that idiom means what you think it means.
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander and pretty soon sleepy Joe’s goose will be cooked!
it’s funny that you think that this is smart
never mind that Giant mountain of evidence and things we watched on live TV and just keep burying your head in the sand
It literally does
Nope, sorry losers and haters but Trump did nothing wrong at all. He got impeached for making a perfect phone call and now this? Charged for reading a few papers on the toilet? Too bad he’s gonna beat the rap and win the presidency again
