Trump appears to concede he illegally retained official documents in filing

"If he's acknowledging that he's in possession of documents that would have any colorable claim of executive privilege, those are by definition presidential records and belong at the National Archives," said Asha Rangappa, a former FBI agent and former associate dean at Yale Law School.

"And so it's not clear that executive privilege would even be relevant to the particular crime he's being investigated for and yet in this filing, he basically admits that he is in possession of them, which is what the government is trying to establish," Rangappa said.
