Former President Trump has been receiving legal advice related to his retention of presidential records from the head of Judicial Watch, a conservative legal activist group, CNN reported Friday.

Trump began taking calls from Tom Fitton, the president of the group, soon after the National Archives confirmed it obtained 15 boxes of records from Trumps Mar-a-Lago property earlier this year.

The Archives reportedly asked the Justice Department (DOJ) to investigate after it received the boxes, some of which contained classified information.

Fitton told Trump that providing the boxes to the Archives was a mistake and the records belonged to Trump, three sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

Fitton said Trump should not provide any additional records if the Archives came back for more. He reportedly cited a 2012 case that Judicial Watch was involved in that he said gave Trump the authority to do what he wanted with records from his time in the White House.
One source told CNN that Trump requested Fitton brief his attorneys on the legal argument.

Trump has repeatedly maintained that he has fully cooperating with investigators seeking to reclaim the records. But Fitton increasingly began convincing him that he should have control over the records he possessed, according to CNN.

IANAL, but this doesn't seem like a very smart strategy.

You want to know something funny? Trump paid a lawyer 3 million upfront for legal advice who have him good legal advice on how to avoid problems with the DoJ by capitulating as quickly as possible and then ignored it all to listen to this guy instead.

But that lawyer didn't tell Trump exactly what he wanted to hear, this other guy did.

So, you know, Trump had to listen to the guy that told him what he wanted to hear.

Smithers, I'm beginning to think that Donald Trump... was not the brilliant tactician I thought he was.
