Trump records contained classified information, National Archives confirms

President Trump responded:

“The National Archives did not ‘find’ anything, they were given, upon request, Presidential Records in an ordinary and routine process to ensure the preservation of my legacy and in accordance with the Presidential Records Act.  If this was anyone but ‘Trump,’ there would be no story here.”

Federal law bars the removal of classified documents to unauthorized locations, though Trump can argue that, as president, he was the ultimate declassification authority.
