Access to the materials is not only necessary for purposes of our ongoing criminal investigation, but the Executive Branch must also conduct an assessment of the potential damage resulting from the apparent manner in which these materials were stored and transported and take any necessary remedial steps.
Accordingly, we are seeking immediate access to these materials so as to facilitate the necessary assessments that need to be conducted within the Executive Branch.
Has this request ever been made by a former President? It sounds like she is using a case from the Nixon era to bolster her assertions.
Still makes one wonder what Trump has, that the Federal Bureau of Instigators wants so badly.
This archivist is only acting and has no authority.
The federal government should have a copy of each document already under the presidential records law.
It should have had no need to snatch the copies Trump has.
Are they going to go after nancy pelosi for the document she TORE up in front of the world? THAT was a crime.
These files were declassified by President Trump.
Any sitting president has the right to declassify any document or file he chooses.
If these documents were so sensitive, why didn’t they demand them back 18 months ago?
Or two months ago, when the feds visited Mar-a-Lago?
Just another damn witch hunt.
The librarian sure thinks a lot of herself. Who does she think she is?
letter dated May 10, 2022. she didn’t waste time!

These people seem to be conflating an executive agency with the executive himself.
Looks like Biden himself initiated the entire scenario regarding any and ALL documents held by President Trump.
Sounds like she is asking the National Archives to turn over the documents they have, not ones in Trump’s possession.
Wow. She certainly is playing hardball. Trying to get President Trump on the flimsiest technicality really Bigly. This is ominous.
