44. He already did over the 15 boxes ages ago in writing

from White House Counsel last spring.

NARA and the DoJ already dealt with Trump whining about executive privilege.
They explained it all to him very clearly.

DoJ probably got Biden to update for the other 45 boxes/collections of documents picked up Aug 8th - if it was needed.

If this judge messes around with this on the basis of executive privilege, there would be a fairly extensive stench to go along with her reasoning. DoJ would appeal it and eventually win.

Why shouldn't Joe Biden have access to his predecessors documents - particularly where classified information is concerned? Trump is in no position of authority to do anything legitimate with it at his premises. The country needs it for its own security.

Prior reasoning has been: you simply can't have two Presidents. If the current President wants the records, his wishes prevail. Period. Trump already was taught that lesson by the Supreme Court in Jan 2022. Trump already tested this and lost badly.
