We are seeing a massive shift in US legal history today. The Trump Justice Department just put out a highly controversial opinion claiming the Presidential Records Act is unconstitutional. This unprecedented ruling effectively permits President Donald Trump to retain highly sensitive presidential records and classified documents long after his term concludes, bypassing the National Archives entirely.
The echoes of past controversies are unmistakable, given that Trump was previously prosecuted for removing a substantial number of classified documents from the White House. People are already comparing the current political drama to the classic movie All the President's Men. Naturally, this is sparking serious concerns about how our country will protect its most critical national secrets going forward.
