LOL....the link is from the National Archives......The article is hogwash!
The presidential records are REQUIRED under law to be kept by the National Archives.
The former president has free access for the 5 years, before the public has access.
But the current president, and congress, and doj can access them during that 5 years, if there is a need. They can't get access, when in need, if Trump has them.
And under no condition, none, zip, zero....can a former president store TOP SECRET SCI national security compartmental documents at Mara Lago Resort, or anywhere outside of their secure place in the government safe.
The presidential records were never his records to take with him.
The presidential records act is CLEAR on that.....
And yes, the president can keep some of His documents.
