Ivanka Trump took to her Instagram and uploaded photos of herself along with her father Donald Trump on his birthday.
In a scathing critique, former Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal dismantled Donald Trump’s assertion that he had the right to consider government documents as personal material that he could take with him upon leaving the White House. Trump currently faces 37 counts after he transported official materials to his Mar-a-Lago estate following his tenure as president. The Department of Justice has accused him of obstructing the government’s efforts to retrieve these materials, which reportedly contained sensitive information on defense capabilities, nuclear programs, and potential vulnerabilities of the United States and its allies.
Trump pleaded not guilty to all charges and later addressed his supporters at his Bedminster golf resort in New Jersey, vehemently criticizing the charges against him and invoking the Presidential Records Act to defend his actions. However, during an interview on MSNBC’s The Last Word, Neal Katyal, a respected figure in legal circles, responded to Trump’s claims with derision.
Katyal expressed disbelief at Trump’s contention that the Presidential Records Act supported his actions and questioned which provision of the act Trump was citing. Drawing on his expertise on the legislation, he declared that the act did not grant Trump the right he claimed to have. Katyal further emphasized that Trump’s complaints about the indictment not referencing the Presidential Records Act were baseless, comparing it to the indictment’s omission of the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as it was irrelevant to the case at hand.
