Court Keeps Presidential Records Act in Play, Orders White House to Preserve Records
TL;DR Summary
A federal judge ruled the Presidential Records Act is likely constitutional and granted a preliminary injunction requiring Trump aides to continue complying with it, rejecting the DOJ's claim that the law intrudes on presidential power; the order takes effect May 26 as higher courts consider the matter, while the National Archives continues to make records available under the PRA during ongoing lawsuits.
