Can you say traitor? The idiot would not be in this position if he did what Pence and Biden did when records were discovered by telling the DOJ to come on over and search. Not Trump, though, he had to stall, and lie, and try to make a deal, etc.

Here's the text of the 2018 Presidential Records Act.
https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?...edition=prelim

I don't see anywhere in this document where it says Trump gets to determine what constitutes personal records.

It does say "(2) The term "Presidential records" means documentary materials, or any reasonably segregable portion thereof, created or received by the President, the President's immediate staff, or a unit or individual of the Executive Office of the President whose function is to advise or assist the President, in the course of conducting activities which relate to or have an effect upon the carrying out of the constitutional, statutory, or other official or ceremonial duties of the President. Such term—

(A) includes any documentary materials relating to the political activities of the President or members of the President's staff, but only if such activities relate to or have a direct effect upon the carrying out of constitutional, statutory, or other official or ceremonial duties of the President; but

(B) does not include any documentary materials that are (i) official records of an agency (as defined in section 552(e) 1 of title 5, United States Code); (ii) personal records; (iii) stocks of publications and stationery; or (iv) extra copies of documents produced only for convenience of reference, when such copies are clearly so identified."
