National Archives counters Trump's baseless claims about Obama records

Source: Washington Post
 
The National Archives and Records Administration issued a statement Friday in an attempt to counter misstatements about former president Barack Obama’s presidential records after several days of misinformation that had been spread by former president Donald Trump and conservative commentators. 

Since the FBI search of his Florida home and club this week for classified documents, Trump has asserted in social media posts that Obama “kept 33 million pages of documents, much of them classified” and that they were “taken to Chicago by President Obama.” 

In its statement, NARA said that it obtained “exclusive legal and physical custody” of Obama’s records when he left office in 2017. It said that about 30 million pages of unclassified records were transferred to a NARA facility in the Chicago area and that they continue to be maintained “exclusively by NARA.” 

Classified records from Obama are kept in a NARA facility in Washington, the statement said.

So Trump declassified the docs the FBI placed there?

Trump cannot wave his hand and declassify top secret documents.

Trump had a standing order to declassify any doc he had with him that left the white house.

Moron.

Well since you know so much about American politics, you know presidents can’t declassify nuclear information, assuming there was any in possession.

You really believe he had nuclear info?

This is about crossfire hurricane that was declassified and the fbi is refusing to release to the public.

It's not that complicated.

It’s laughable what Trumpsters will believe.  He keeps lying and they lap it up.

No clue, the point is that presidents can’t desclassify anything they want.

All they needed to do was ask for the docs.  These reasoning behind this raid from the fbi point of view are weak and aren't fooling anyone.  The fbi was already caught fabricating and planting evidence before against Trump.

 

This is current now and more likely.  

 

“DEVELOPING: Investigators reportedly met back in June w Trump & his lawyers in Mar-a-Lago storage rm to survey docs & things seemed copasetic but then FBI raids weeks later. Speculation on Hill FBI had PERSONAL stake & searching for classified docs related to its #Spygate scandal.” – investigative journalist Paul Sperry said in a tweet Tuesday before getting suspended from Twitter.

It turns out that those working for Trump at his Florida estate during the FBI raid refused FBI requests to turn off security cameras on the premises, which means Trump now has footage ready-made for an explosive campaign commercial”

They first complied and then shortly after turned them back on.

I think Bannon is right.  

:lol:
