President Trump has turned Jack Smith’s frivolous federal indictment of him on its head as he cites the Presidential Records Act as a defense.
"Under the Presidential Records Act, which is civil not criminal, I had every right to have these documents," Trump said after returning from Miami during a speech at his Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey.
The Presidential Records Act is a 1978 law that allows presidents to decide what records to keep and take, regardless of what the National Archives and Records Administration thinks.
Trump is correct, as per usual, to use this act as a defense.
