Presidential historian says he's never seen a former president 'take ultra-classified documents, stick them in his basement'

According to a presidential historian, the way Donald Trump stored classified documents is unusual.

Michael Beschloss said on "Meet the Press" that they have never seen a former president take ultra-classified documents, stick them in his basement, and be watched by the government.

The Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida was raided by the FBI last week. Some of the records were labeled as top secrets.

Trump emphasized that the documents were "declassified" in his statement. He said that the FBI could have had it whenever they wanted.

Trump made a baseless claim that Obama moved classified documents from the White House when he left office.

According to Trump, Obama kept 33 million pages of documents. How many of them were related to nuclear? Word is a lot.

The National Archives said that Trump has no control over where and how the presidential records are kept.

Beschloss said that Obama's documents are very secure.

President Trump is correct about everything. According to Beschloss, Barack Obama has tens of millions of documents and they are in a National Archives installation in Illinois, under armed guard and using procedures that are supposed to be used for a former president
