The #Trump admin’s abrupt declaration that the federal #law governing presidential records for the past 48 yrs is #unconstitutional is creating confusion about access to records of past presidencies, including documents that are on the verge of public release.
The memo from the #DOJ Office of Legal Counsel, which challenges the #PresidentialRecordsAct, is intended to give #Trump the legal leeway to #destroy White House #records from his current term.
