'National Archives rejects Trump's claim that Obama took 33 million pages of classified documents from the White House and insists they are in a secure facility in Chicago
2022-08-13
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • National Archives snapped back at Donald Trump's claim that Barack Obama took 33 million pages of classified documents from the White House

  • Archives said it wasn't true and that they had the Obama documents

  • The agency said Obama's unclassified presidential records are in a facility they control in Chicago

  • The classified Obama records are in a secure facility in the Washington D.C. area

  • Obama has no control over them, the agency said

  • Under Presidential Records Act, the federal government owns all presidential records after a president leaves the White House

  • Trump claimed - without proof - Obama kept 33 million pages of documents

#6  I don't know which is more depressing. That a POTUS can take government intelligence documents for his own use after his term, or that millions of pages of classified stuff is produced by the bureaucracy with not much to show for it in the way of achievement.

#4  /\ Move up Wilke Road a few miles. There's some old Air Defense underground bunkers up there. I would rather it all be....subterranean, under a golf course, Interstate Highway, or sewage treatment plant.
