This is a stupid claim. It is stupid to store attorney client privilege documents in a basement. TFG has no right to claim executive privilege and the FBI will use a filter/taint team to week out attorney client documents.

And he's convinced himself and his "followers" that he's still POTUS, so has "executive privilege" - not to mention that any qualified U.S. president would know the protocol for storage of sensitive classified documents, anyone who works in government knows how that works. It's sheer insanity to leave them at some "resort" where anyone can come and go, not to mention that spies have been apprehended there!
