Opinion: Federal indictment against Trump just the latest attempt to bring him down
In 1920, nearly one million Americans voted for Socialist Party candidate Eugene V. Debs for president even though he was in a prison cell at the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary.
Is it? Trump has been hit with baseless, false allegations non-stop since he entered politics — the pee tape, the Russia hoax, the steering wheel, the tax returns. So many accusations. So much nothing. Congress did provide for presidents to determine, in their sole discretion, what materials are presidential records and what materials are personal records, and to take with them when they leave the White House whatever personal records they choose to keep. The law is the Presidential Records Act of 1978, and the relevant case is Judicial Watch, Inc. v. National Archives and Records Administration, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, in 2012.
Citing 44 U.S.C. Section 2203, Judge Jackson wrote, “Under the statutory scheme established by the PRA, the decision to segregate personal materials from Presidential records is made by the President, during the President’s term and in his sole discretion.
