Trump's False Claims and National Security in Criminal Investigation.

Former President Donald Trump has made false claims about the federal investigation into his handling of government documents, including that the Presidential Records Act required negotiations with the National Archives and Records Administration about the return of official documents after his presidency. The Act actually says that NARA gets custody and control of all presidential records from his administration. Trump also falsely claimed that his predecessors took documents with them after leaving office, that federal investigators could have easily obtained the government records in his possession just by asking, and that he had declassified all of the documents in his possession. He also suggested that the FBI or Justice Department might have planted evidence or might proceed to plant evidence.
