Trump White House Hit With Suit Over Preserving Official Records

The Office of Legal Counsel’s decision that the White House doesn’t need to comply with the Presidential Records Act purports to undo an act of Congress, contravenes a decision of the US Supreme Court, and violates the separation of powers doctrine twice over, the American Historical Association and American Oversight said in a complaint filed Monday in the US District Court for the District of Columbia. The defendants include President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and several of their closest advisers.
