Presidential Records Act (PRA) of 1978
The Presidential Records Act (PRA) of 1978, 44 U.S.C. ß2201-2209, governs the official records of Presidents and Vice Presidents that were created or received after January 20, 1981 (i.e., beginning with the Reagan Administration). The PRA changed the legal ownership of the official records of the President from private to public, and established a new statutory structure under which Presidents, and subsequently NARA, must manage the records of their Administrations. The PRA was amended in 2014, which established several new provisions.
Specifically, the PRA:
Establishes public ownership of all Presidential records and defines the term Presidential records.
Requires that Vice-Presidential records be treated in the same way as Presidential records.
Places the responsibility for the custody and management of incumbent Presidential records with the President.
Requires that the President and his staff take all practical steps to file personal records separately from Presidential records.
Allows the incumbent President to dispose of records that no longer have administrative, historical, informational, or evidentiary value, once the views of the Archivist of the United States on the proposed disposal have been obtained in writing.
Establishes in law that any incumbent Presidential records (whether textual or electronic) held on courtesy storage by the Archivist remain in the exclusive legal custody of the President and that any request or order for access to such records must be made to the President, not NARA.
Establishes that Presidential records automatically transfer into the legal custody of the Archivist as soon as the President leaves office.
Establishes a process by which the President may restrict and the public may obtain access to these records after the President leaves office; specifically, the PRA allows for public access to Presidential records through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) beginning five years after the end of the Administration, but allows the President to invoke as many as six specific restrictions to public access for up to twelve years.
Codifies the process by which former and incumbent Presidents conduct reviews for executive privilege prior to public release of records by NARA (which had formerly been governed by Executive order 13489).
Establishes procedures for Congress, courts, and subsequent Administrations to obtain “special access” to records from NARA that remain closed to the public, following a privilege review period by the former and incumbent Presidents; the procedures governing such special access requests continue to be governed by the relevant provisions of E.O. 13489.
Establishes preservation requirements for official business conducted using non-official electronic messaging accounts: any individual creating Presidential records must not use non-official electronic messaging accounts unless that individual copies an official account as the message is created or forwards a complete copy of the record to an official messaging account. (A similar provision in the Federal Records Act applies to federal agencies.)
Prevents an individual who has been convicted of a crime related to the review, retention, removal, or destruction of records from being given access to any original records.

KGB SS FBI gestapo CIA Nazi Democratic party justice department Nazi persecution of political opponents exacted a terrible price in human suffering. Between 1933 and 1939, the criminal courts sentenced tens of thousands of Germans for "political crimes." If the police were confident of a conviction in court, the prisoner was turned over to the justice system for trial. If the police were unsatisfied with the outcome of criminal proceedings they would take the acquitted citizen or the citizen who was sentenced to a suspended sentence into protective detention and incarcerate him or her in a concentration camp. On the eve of World War II, concentration camps held about 25,000 inmates, most of them political prisoners.cnn
It’s been done and the privileged documents have been found and sorted.
They already have a special team to scan for privileged info. They do not interact with investigators.
The public trust? If you don’t trust teams like this it is because you traffic in lies. You cannot believe in people took these jobs partly because they respect integrity and morality, ideas trumpists do not.
Ex post facto

Throw him in jail my god
Trump took the document so he can use it against American people and unites states throw him in jail
Get it right to make sure there is no foul play
Listen close 0:41 accusing Trump's lawyers. Why not Trump? Is it that his majesty will not allow it?
I wonder how many judges Trump appointed in that district.
Did he really roll the dice or just play the odds?
Awfully convenient to score such an "understanding" judge.
Treacherous traitor trump and Republicans have ruined this country..shameless Republicans..lock trump up NOW
If we don't stand up against these MAGA thugs and traitors, there is a future rope or bullet waiting for us. Don't kid yourself about their violent intentions.
Any one is office know the white house really
See they dont have anything go trump
may be thts why obama is behind it all
omg do you really think trump packed up his stuff from the white house , stupid fools
Under Trumps leadership the Republican Party 🎉 has become the new American 🇺🇸 Communist Party 🎉 a party that was about to be lead to bomb 💣 Mexico 🇲🇽 a party that was ok with their leader to abscond with secret documents with the idea 💡 of possibly selling information ℹ️ for profit to buy a billion dollar super yacht 🛥 as a show off toy which would be unfortunate that a selfish, narcissistic, greedy, criminal mind, thuggish ex-president would ever consider.
I guess a moronic argument is better than no argument…
Any normal person would be able to see that America is sick and tired of all this non-stop drama. But Trump continues to be a thorn in our side.
The judge has to decide who owns those documents. It isn't a difficult decision, and she really doesn't have any wiggle room, but she's delaying proceeding. Interestingly or not, she's a Trump appointee. What did Trump consider to be her qualifying characteristics when he appointed her? We know that several of his appointees are unqualified to serve.
Its called High Treason and Obstruction.
Crazy guy he doesn't understand the law of his own country, idea is mad or stupid.
I don't think the hearing is high stakes at all. At BEST for Trump is a few attorney-client communications are protected. That has almost nothing to do with the issue at hand. UNLESS there are communications that directly relate to criminal action, which I suppose they might be, but still have no bearing on the current known crimes.
Yes His PAL STORMY has a LIST of SPECIAL MASTERS, they are Expensive yet less than this Shoveling of Manure and DUMB STALLING GAME.
Isn't it Getting Boring when the NOOZE Plays so DENSE… Like they just arrived back from deep in the AMAZON, AFTER their Probing by Aliens.
The Doubting Game Show, again, again. Okay…. What is TRUMPTY DUMPTY known for? a) Grabbing Ivanky's Big Butt? b)Hiding from CRAZY MELANIA? Dodging Eric and Don Jr's Calls? Or perhaps LIES, THEFT, TRRORISM, TREASON, TAX FRAUD, whew, KAI'NT list 'em all. YA JUST KAIN'T
He should be indicted for wasting the judge time. He can’t avoid the inevitable
Trump should be locked up ,he never should have stole this information
Mr. Trump , your always going to court, maybe your the problem. You think 🤔
how can a spy shout for a special master😀😀
This judge want her name to be on the front page.Because she know that trump is a traitor, he has no right to the material that he taken from a secure place. They need to Investigate this judge .Becausshe knows that Trump is a lier traitor, thief and a deceiver , watch this judge. She just got played. Trump is no longer president ,He has no right to those paper or to see them so, what's the problem judge?
Possession is the major element of the espionage crimes. No intent required.
Of course the documents were EXPOSED they were taken out of a federal government building
Trump took the documents to make money. It’s that simple. Americans are not stupid.
Trump supporters are rallying for a civil war in the U.S. Let’s look at the numbers by revisiting the Battle of Shiloh (6-7Apr 1862) and the Battle of Antietam (16-18Sep 1862). Avg # of combatants 121,000. If half of that number (60,500) are descent marksman with a Springfield musket firing one round per minute, each combatant could hit .38 human target resulting of an avg total 23,231 casualties. Now extrapolate that data to today with a M4 Carbine firing 700 rounds per minute, each armed combatant could hit 1,841 human targets for a total of 111,447,368. According to MSNBC report, 53% of Trump supporters want a civil war. Then the Trump supporters casualties will total 55,223,684.

Clinton: Provided investigators with the emails.
Trump: Repeatedly failed to provide investigators with the documents.
Does the Trump judge dine down the street with her benefactor? Is she afraid Trump will sic his mob on her? Is she just another Trump fedsoc that is ignorant of the law or uses the law for her personal benefit?
This judge needs to step aside and truly should not even BE FACTORED IN!! Recuse, excuse and remove your self! 🤢🤮
Man there terrified of trump. It’s been a non stop attack for the past 5 years. Old trumps the real Teflon don because he’s had half the government trying to make anything stick and been committing crimes themselves to make it happen
It’s all a true load of garbage. He didn’t do anything wrong. The Dems are getting desperate. November is coming and they can’t stop it. We should lock up Biden, Harris, Palosi, Hilary Newsom , Obama and Schumer for treason and selling America out.! God bless president Trump! . MAGA 2024🇺🇸
It's to late lolol.And this isn't an attorney/ client issue. It's done. Trumps done. End of story.
TOP SECRET/ SCI. No case for Trump but let’s waste peoples time. ……..also Trump never said the documents where planted as some of his supporters have said.
Thanks to Brandon Trump is a national martyr 🤣
This is Bull-S@#$…
They're taking lives into their own hands with this shyte show corrupt disgusting whole affair.
US will be lucky to be seen as anything other than an failing, immature mysoginistic geriatric pasty skinned idiotic authoritarian wanna be 3rd World state.
Like Thomas Jefferson said, we need to refresh the tree of liberty. With gallons and gallons of tyrant's blood. Quench the tree and saturate the earth until the golden sands a ross the earth are red every river runs red and they flow into crimson oceans.
The bigger they are, the harder they will fall.
I feel many visits to appeals court judges coming on!!
He declassified the documents. They new he had them since the end of the presidency. It’s an obvious ploy to make him look bad considering he is the biggest threat to dems
