Law cannot be logically incoherent.
If a president has the legal right to be in possession of documents, he cannot also be prosecuted for such possession.
If a president has the legal right to be in possession of documents, he cannot also be prosecuted for such possession.
My understanding is that Trump is accused of taking documents he did not in fact have a legal right to, but we'll see how this plays out.
“ If a president has the legal right to be in possession of documents, he cannot also be prosecuted for such possession.”
But Trump is not president anymore. And there are documents he could have in his possession as president he cannot have as ex-president. If he fails to return them, he can be prosecuted for failing to do so. At least, that is the position of the prosecution.
