The National Archives, without naming former President Trump, pushed back Tuesday on claims he made over the weekend that other past presidents had mishandled their White House records with the help of the agency.
Trump had previously claimed his predecessor, former President Obama, had mishandled his own records but expanded that claim during rallies in Arizona and New Mexico to include several prior presidents, including Republicans.
At one point Trump even claimed, without evidence, that records from President George H.W. Bush’s administration were stored in a Chinese restaurant and a bowling alley “with no security and a broken front door.”
The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) said Tuesday that while records are transported to presidents’ libraries, any temporary storage has “met strict archival and security standards, and have been managed and staffed exclusively by NARA employees.” It added that any insinuations that records were stored in substandard conditions “are false and misleading.”
At another point during the rallies, Trump also accused former President Clinton of losing nuclear codes and keeping classified recordings in his sock. While Clinton did store some tapes in his sock drawer while serving as president, he did not leave office with the recordings in tow.

Weird. I've been to the Bush Museum a few times and I missed to bowling alley AND the Chinese restaurant. https://t.co/XRiE0LKzGZ

"It's mine. It's mine."
Even the classified documents that belonged to the citizens of the United States. This is how the mind of an authoritarian works. https://t.co/6aQaoYbAXj— David Corn (@DavidCornDC) October 10, 2022
What’s really sad is that his cult believes his bovine excrement.
