In Trump’s latest efforts to distract from his ongoing case about stashing classified documents at Mar-a-Lago he claimed:
“George H.W. Bush took millions of documents to a former bowling alley and a former Chinese restaurant; where they combined them. So they’re in a bowling alley slash Chinese restaurant.” Trump added, “A Chinese restaurant and a bowling alley. With no security and a broken front door.”
In the same speech, Trump also falsely stated that Obama had taken millions of presidential documents to Chicago. The National Archives and Records Administration quickly shot down this claim explaining it was NARA itself, not Obama, that took the documents to a NARA-managed facility in the Chicago area.
As Trump argues that ‘all presidents’ took documents with them from the White House — clearly not true– he also blamed Bill Clinton:
“Bill Clinton took millions of documents from the White House to a former car dealership in Arkansas” and “George W. Bush stored 68 million pages in a warehouse in Texas.”
Jeb Bush responded to Trump’s Sunday claim about the late president: “I am so confused. My dad enjoyed a good Chinese meal and enjoyed the challenge of 7 10 split. What the heck is up with you?”
Once again, the National Archives and Records Administration had to refute Trump’s lies.
