Former President Donald Trump said the Department of Justice must "immediately" withdraw its indictment against him and replace it with an apology, citing the Presidential Records Act.
Trump made the statement on his Truth Social account, touting a column written by lawyer Michael Bekesha in the Wall Street Journal where he argued a president "chooses what records to return or keep and the National Archives can't do anything about it."
"The Presidential Records Act allows the president to decide what records to return and what records to keep at the end of his presidency. And the National Archives and Records Administration can't do anything about it. I know because I'm the lawyer who lost the 'Clinton sock drawer' case," Bekesha wrote in the Journal.
