One of former Pres. Trump's representatives to the National Archives is suing the agency and the DOJ for access to documents related to the Russia probe.
, issuing a "declassification" memo for much of the material and secretly meeting with Solomon, who was allowed to review the documents and later keep a batch of them.said 10 to 15 staffers working for the National Security Council had been tasked with "making copies" of the documents for Solomon and others.
Solomon and another of Trump's representatives to the National Archives, former Trump administration official, have suggested that politics were at play. But in private emails with Solomon and Patel, which Solomon filed in court to support his lawsuit, National Archives general counsel Gary Stern insisted otherwise.
As Stern told Solomon in the emails, the thousands of pages of documents had "varying types of classification and declassification markings," with "no clear organization or delineation." Different copies of the same documents were "redacted differently," while "some documents did not have the required declassification markings," Stern said.
In his lawsuit, however, Solomon argues that the documents are being "wrongfully withheld" from him because, he claims, they are presidential records and he is Trump's official representative -- even if it is "in his capacity as a journalist."
