Title: Trump on His Presidential Library: He’ll Write His Own History

In February 2025, aides transported crates of documents back to President Trump on Air Force One, materials that had been handed over by the F.B.I. following their 2022 seizure from his Florida residence, Mar-a-Lago. By April, Trump and the Justice Department had pushed forward a broad legal argument asserting that the president, rather than the general public, holds ownership of his records. This stance would effectively give him exclusive authority over which presidential documents are preserved or made public.
