Trump May Not Turn Over Official Records
April 2, 2026 at 7:53 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
President Trumps Justice Department has concluded that a federal law requiring presidential records to be turned over to the government is unconstitutional, Axios reports.
The finding is an indication Trump will be reluctant to give all of his official records to the National Archives at the end of his term, as presidents have done for nearly a half-century under the Presidential Records Act of 1978.
