Clyde: Regarding the raid on Mar-a-Lago, the Justice Department filed an application for a search an seizure warrant…that additional presidential records, and records containing classified information remained in various parts of the residence…Are you familiar with the Presidential Records Act?
Director Wray: Only in the most general sense. I'm not a subject matter expert.
Clyde. Was the Presidential Records Act referenced in the request for a warrant?
Director Wray: I would just refer you to the warrant.
Clyde: I'm asking you a question.
Director Wray: I don't have the warrant in front of me so I can't tell you exactly what statutes were referenced in the warrant.
Clyde: This is one of the most historic raids and warrants ever done in this country…and you don't know what the warrant says? Are there any criminal penalties attached to the Presidential Records Act?
Director Wray: Not directly.
Clyde: You are correct…under the Presidential Records Act, the president is allowed to have all his records from his time as president, is that correct?
Director Wray: Now you're asking me for a legal opinion…I would refer you to the Special Council.
Clyde: [The presidential Records Act] does not exclude classified documents…President Trump had complete authority to unilaterally declassify documents, correct?
Director Wray: Now you are asking me a legal question in relation to an ongoing investigation…it's not something that I can answer.
