#JudicialWatch #lost a #lawsuit in 2012 that demanded the audio recordings be designated as #PresidentialRecords & that the #NationalArchives (#NARA) take custody of the recordings. A court opinion issued at the time stated that there was no #legal mechanism for the Archives to force Clinton to turn over the recordings.

At the time, #Trump & his legal team were engaged in a back-&-forth w/ #NARA over whether he had taken…(gov) records & property….That dispute over #presidentialRecords is what ultimately led to the discovery of #ClassifiedDocuments at #MarALago — some of them highly sensitive, incl’g info about a #foreign country’s #nuclear capabilities; #Iran’s #missile system;& #intelligence gathering aimed at #China.
