The Federalist: Nothing In AP’s Presidential Records Hit Piece On Trump Is True
The Associated Press article claims that the Trump administration did not preserve federal records adequately, but a federal records management consultant argues this is false. He asserts that the management of electronic records has been poorly executed across administrations, not just Trump's, and that claims about the use of apps like Signal are misleading.
Additionally, he contends that the FBI raid on Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate was politically motivated and unjustified, as the National Archives had no ownership claim over certain records. He criticizes the media's portrayal of the National Archives' leadership changes and emphasizes the need for comprehensive reform in records management to restore public trust.

Fox News: WATCH: US intel's take on TdA gang misses mark on ties to Maduro regime, ex-Venezuela army officer says
Jose Arocha, a former Venezuelan military officer, disputes a U.S. intelligence report that downplays the connection between the Tren de Aragua gang and the Maduro regime.
