Trump has pleaded not guilty in the case, arguing that he had the right to take whatever he wanted from the White House.
On Friday, Trump went a step further and acknowledged that "various people" in and around the club saw the "papers and boxes" that he took with him, which prosecutors say contained 1,545 pages of classified material.
that were openly and plainly brought from the White House, as is my right under the Presidential Records Act," Trump posted on social media.
"Under the PRA, the official records of the President and his staff are owned by the United States, not by the President," the site says.
The Archives is required under the law to take custody of these records when a president, including Trump, leaves office.
