- Donald Trump ’s newly launched presidential library claims it cannot locate any direct messages sent by the president from his Twitter account during his first administration.
- This statement contradicts Twitter's testimony in court, which indicated Trump had sent or received at least 32 DMs between October 2020 and January 2021.
- The administration's position follows a Department of Justice memo asserting the Presidential Records Act of 1978 is unconstitutional, prompting multiple federal lawsuits.
- A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction on May 20, blocking the destruction of presidential records and ordering compliance with the Presidential Records Act.
- Trump has yet to build a presidential library and previously suggested it may not be a traditional library at all, telling reporters it would be a hotel in Miami with a building and a 747 Air Force One in the lobby.
