Experts fact check Trump's legal claims on classified documents.
Former President Donald Trump's legal arguments in his defense against his second indictment have been challenged by experts. Trump mischaracterized aspects of the Presidential Records Act and the Espionage Act, according to experts. He claimed that he had every right to have classified documents under the Presidential Records Act, which is not true. He also alluded to a judge's decision in a case involving former President Bill Clinton, which experts say is not applicable to his case. Trump also claimed that he was still negotiating with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), which NARA denied. Finally, Trump claimed that he was being treated like a spy, which experts say is not true.
