https://www.axios.com/2022/08/12/national-archives-counters-trumps-claims-obama-took-classified-documentsWE all knew this...
But here's the ammo to shut up fools on social media.
Driving the news: The National Archives was quick to counter Trump's claims on Friday, noting in a statement that it "assumed exclusive legal and physical custody" of Obama's presidential records after he left office.
The former president "has no control over where and how" the records are stored, it said.
The National Archives said it moved about 30 million pages of unclassified records from the Obama administration to a facility that it maintains in Chicago. Classified documents remain in a facility in Washington, D.C.

Good To Know, But Facts Are Meaningless To Those IDIOTS, Better Simply Not To Engage

But if you run into some nitwit who is taking the former guy's side on this, keep the response short and simple. "What about Obama! Millions of documents!" Response: "That's not what the National Archives say, and I'd trust them to know their business better than the former guy, who . . . doesn't."

Compared to a human pig... no offense to pigs.
Obama knew precisely how to obtain documents for his future library under existing protocol and laws.
