“The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) assumed exclusive legal and physical custody of Obama Presidential records when President Barack Obama left office in 2017, in accordance with the Presidential Records Act (PRA).
In response to recent media reports that generated a large number of queries about presidential records, we issued the following statements to the media: January 17, 2024, statement December 4, 2023, statement September 2, 2023, statement August 11, 2023, statement June 9, 2023, statement April...

The issue is that Trump has to comply with the law and say he didn't know that he wasn't supposed to take them and return them.
Trump is being a stubborn ass.

It’s like asking for proof you flushed the toilet. The toilet being empty is proof enough
We all know President can declassify these things. The idea you must prove “how you did it” is immaterial.
I have only said about 100 or 200 times on this forum that Hillary should be in jail for what she did.
Since I like Biden even less than Trump, I am hardly a bidophile, but while I do not expect Trump to end up in jail, I do think this will turn out to be a bigger thing that you suspect. I did not even really expect him to be indicted, but clearly his lawyers do.
Even if he didn't, like Obama took 30,000 classified documents and returned them when discovered, all Trump has to do is return them.
Your idiocy is amusing.
either way, Trump's own Special Master is about to dump on him.
and I noticed you have totally ignored the NA debunking your lies, that way you can tell them again tomorrow and pretend you did not know any better. It is SOP for you
Now that he has the “special master” he requested to deal with the documents he hoarded at Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump is already finding reasons to object to the process. Specifically, Trump’s legal team is refusing to talk about whether, or how, Trump actually tried to declassify any of the documents by claiming it would harm their “defense to the merits of any subsequent indictment.”
In other words, they’re saying that if they reveal that Trump didn’t declassify any documents, that could subject him to legal action for stealing and holding highly classified information. Which he did. And if Trump claims he did declassify documents, then he’ll have to prove that in court, and also be subject to possible charges over failure to follow the law regarding declassification. Plus, there’s the whole perjury issue—and the issue of Trump obstructing an investigation—that comes with lying about the whole thing.
On top of this, the special master wants this whole thing wrapped up quickly. Trump objects, because that’s the last thing he wants. And finally, the special master wants to know something that’s been bothering everyone: Why is this thing in front of him instead of being dealt with by the court that issued the search warrant in the first place?

He could have easily gotten away with that argument in June and we probably would have never heard another peep about it. However, Trump no longer gets to say he didn't know when he received a grand jury subpoena for the documents.

Either a convenient selective memory or you are just ignorant,
Hillary claimed she did not know it was illegal and Comey went light on her stating she meant no illegality. Right from both horses mouths you horses ass.
So it’s not like Hillary is being pulled out of the air like you do with your TDS.
