@michaelmccaul6436 Cooperative? NARA first noticed documents missing in May 21, 2021, after he left office. Throughout the rest of May 2021,, they requested that he return and documents he had. He failed to respond until December 2021, , and finally in January 2022 15 boxes of documents were returned. February 15, 2022, the Archives made a criminal referral to DOJ after finding that classified documents were mixed in with other materials, and the FBI opened an investigation. NARA said in April 12 2022 that some documents continued to be missing and told Trump's lawyers they were asking the FBI to look into that. Trump's lawyers asked them for an extension to April 29. May 11, with no response from Trump's attorneys on missing documents, a subpoena was issued. On June 3rd, more documents were found through the subpoena, and Trump's lawyers certified that no other documents remained at Mar a Lago. Believing that more documents were still missing, the FBI conducted their search in August, and we know what they found then-- not only 11000 pages of documents but empty folders marked classified.
Cooperative?
And I read the Presidential Records Act, genius. It says that once a president leaves office, possession of all official government documents reverts automatically to the Archives. It doesn't say classified or unclassified, it says ALL documents. Trump didn't have a right to have the documents after his term ended, and he repeatedly lied and delayed in his attempt to prevent the government from knowing he had taken them, kept them and lied about it.
Worried? Yes, I find it concerning that any president would steal government documents and store them sloppily at his house, and did God knows what with the documents that were in the folders marked classified. You can stop with your WWIII deflection bullshit. He did what he did, and every American who doesn't have their head up Trump's fat ass like you wants him prosecuted.
