Not fake news..

The Obama Foundation stored classified documents in an abandoned furniture warehouse, according to a 2018 letter from the Obama Foundation to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

The letter, available on the Obama Foundation website and dated Sept. 11, 2018, reveals that the Obama Foundation not only acknowledged possessing classified documents but also admitted that they kept them in a facility that did not meet NARA standards for the storage of those documents.

The Obama Foundation agreés to transfer up to three million three hundred thousand dollars ($3,300,000) to the National Archives Trust Fund (NATF) to support the move of classified and unclassified Obama Presidential records and artifacts from Hoffman Estates to NARA-controlled facilities that conform to the agency’s archival storage standards for such records and artifacts, and for the modification of such spaces. The first transfer of $300,000 was already made on August 9, 2018. An additional interim transfer will be made within 180 days of that date. Subsequent payments are subject to the negotiation of terms of the digitization process and museum operations.

No they didn’t.

On the one hand we have an out of context proposal letter from someone at some time referring to classified and unclassified documents. For all we know it was written before the final document arrangements had been made and there’s no indication the proposal was ever considered, let alone accepted.

On the other hand we have an official press release from a federal agency stating unambiguously that NARA took immediate and total control of all of Obama’s records, that the records in Chicago are not classified and are under NARA’s control, not the Obama Foundation’s, and that all the classified documents are under NARA’s control at a different, secure facility.

This is a click-bait story from people either too lazy to do basic research or too cynical to care when they can put out nonsense that they know people want to believe.
