Judge dismisses lawsuit to compel White House to archive records of Trump calls, meetings with Putin, other foreign leaders

  • 1.  Judge dismisses lawsuit to compel White House to archive records of Trump calls, meetings with Putin, other foreign leaders

    From yesterday's Washington Post.

    Read the full Washington Post (behind a paywall) or more detailed legalese coverage from George Washington University's National Security Archive, which was one of the parties to the suit.  They do intend to appeal.
