AHA and American Oversight sue the DOJ over an OLC memo declaring the Presidential Records Act unconstitutional

The American Historical Association and American Oversight filed suit in U.S. District Court for D.C. challenging the Trump DOJ OLC memo that declared the Presidential Records Act unconstitutional and instructed the White House to cease compliance. The complaint argued the OLC memo relied on no binding judicial authority and defied the Supreme Court's 1977 ruling in Nixon v. Administrator of General Services. The plaintiffs sought a preliminary injunction requiring White House staff to continue preserving records before evidence could be permanently lost.
