Trump May Not Turn Over Official Records
April 2, 2026 at 7:53 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

“President Trump’s Justice Department has concluded that a federal law requiring presidential records to be turned over to the government is unconstitutional,” Axios reports.

“The finding is an indication Trump will be reluctant to give all of his official records to the National Archives at the end of his term, as presidents have done for nearly a half-century under the Presidential Records Act of 1978.”

1. I watched Senator Chris Van Hollen yesterday and he asked the anchor

a serious question - who does he think he is?

Lock up this out of control lunatic.

[Emile]

2. Still waiting for him to show his taxes.

[JohnnyRingo]

19. I heard two weeks.

I forget when that was though.

[Norbert]

21. This must be the longest audit in IRS history.

[Kid Berwyn]

3. "Who's gonna stop me?"

[malaise]

5. He will soon find out

Take that to the bank 😀

[Kid Berwyn]

6. "So unfair."

It will be a great and historic day.

“Ding Don.”

All gone.

[malaise]

7. There will be a Celebration

[no_hypocrisy]

4. May not exist.

Likely torn up and in the bowels (pun intended) of the WH plumbing.

8. The only thing that can stop him is if he runs out of bathrooms to hide them in

9. Maybe he'll put them in the new Trump Presidential Libary, ...

... in one of the bathrooms attached to Aileen Cannon's office and apartment suite.

10. To quote the abuser in chief ...

We'll have to "force ourselves" into the situation because of crime.

"We're gonna have to do something when it comes World Cup time, and we're gonna have to force ourselves upon them, which we have the right to do, because we don't want to have any crime, we don't want to have any problems,"

A saying comes to mind "What goes around comes around."

[Moostache]

18. Sounds an awful lot like "we had to destroy the village to save the village"... we've been here before. (n/t)

[angrychair]

11. Think he misunderstood

We were not asking. He needs a reminder of who is actually in charge here.

[aggiesal]

12. What would you expect from a pig, but a grunt. n/t

[karynnj]

13. We are warned. By the hour of inauguration,

the archivist should have already had lawyers prepare legal papers to demand everything that should be turned over to them. They should be served as soon as someone else is sworn in.

[MineralMan]

14. He's Planning to Sell Them - a buck three-eighty per page, I understand.

The trick is that most pages just say, "This Page Is Intentionally Blank."

[Scrivener7]

15. Justice was delayed and thereby has been completely denied to the American people.

[Johonny]

16. The government will come take them

And Melania's panties will get touched again. LOL

[SergeStorms]

17. Gosh, I wonder why?

Probably because the level of corruption and lawlessness within his maladministration are off the scale? 🤔

[themaguffin]

20. What sucks is - even when forced, there will likely be little actual records. Fuckers.

[progressoid]

22. No shit?

I am shocked! He's never shown a disregard for the law before. And when he does make a little "mistake" he is held to account!

23. He thinks the DOJ are his personal lawyers, there to defend him and attack his enemies.

They're going to be crafting defenses of all his illegal acts (mostly everything he does) because that's what he's going to instruct them to do.

He thinks everything is his. Hence his statements about taking women, taking Kharg Island, his rapist talk.

He didn't just take the documents, he even took artifacts loaned to the US government from other countries that happened to be on display at the white house during his tenure. Ancient Israeli pottery lamps belonging to the Israeli Antiquities Authority, loaned to the White House in 2019 for a Hanukkah event, became stranded at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate aftser he took them upon leaving office.
