The personal vs presidential records claim

Trump is now claiming the documents he kept were personal because he says so.
President Trump is welcome, under the SOCK DRAWER CASE, to introduce evidence that he designated any of these records as personal, rather than Presidential, at the time they were created or handed to him. Keep in mind, though, that the standard for that is rather high; the records must be “of a purely private or nonpublic character which do not relate to or have an effect upon the carrying out of the constitutional, statutory, or other official or ceremonial duties of the President.”

  Above the Law
The sock drawer case is a Clinton thing, which Trump is trying to claim is his legal right to reason. You can read about that case in this article if you wish.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
