DOJ tells Trump he can hold onto government docs when he leaves office

A memo from the DOJ says President Donald Trump no longer has to follow a Watergate-era law barring him from holding on to presidential records when he leaves office.

The DOJ’s Office of Legal Counsel issued an opinion Thursday that said the Presidential Records Act is unconstitutional.

“the President need not further comply with its dictates,” the opinion said.

Let's see what SCOTUS says about this.

Why ever would he want to hang on to government documents? . . . 🤔

@SunshineGirl Trophies with his name on them. To show to his friends how indebted they are to him.

Proof of indebtness.

@Convivial No doubt there are duplicates of Trump's original documents, if only to give to his subordinates, to follow his directives.

He has said it often enough, he trusts no one.

He may value loyalty. Yet loyalty is a matter of after the fact.
