Trump’s Boxes and Clinton’s Sock Drawer

Donald Trump and Bill Clinton are allowed to choose what presidential records to keep and what to return, according to the Presidential Records Act. The National Archive can't do anything about it.

  • The Presidential Records Act allows the president to decide what records to return and what records to keep at the end of his presidency.
  • The National Archives and Records Administration can't do anything about it.
  • In 2009, historian Taylor Branch published “The Clinton Tapes: Wrestling History With the President”.
  • The White House made the audiotapes, but the National Archives and Records Administration was never given the recordings.
  • The government should lose U.S. v. Trump.
