Trump on lifting secret files - The 1978 law governs the preservation of information during and
following a presidency, but a president's personal records are excluded
from the act's requirements. Trump, who has denied all wrongdoing in the
case, has claimed that he should be shielded from prosecution because
classified presidential records "can be transformed into 'personal'"
records by removing them from the White House. - NBC
CNN - Former President Donald Trump is now facing 88 charges over four criminal indictments in Georgia, New York, Washington, DC, and Florida. This comes after a Georgia judge dismissed some of the election subversion charges against Trump and several of his co-defendants on Wednesday. Judge Scott McAfee has also said he will issue a ruling on the ethics allegations brought against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis by the end of the week. Meanwhile, Trump will have the chance to argue in court with special counsel Jack Smith later today about his most-cited legal argument in the classified documents case against him: whether, as president, he was allowed to keep any documents he wanted. Trump's legal team has argued on multiple occasions that he had unfettered authority to decide what documents from his time in the White House he could keep as his personal records.
