"An overdue library book" is what ex-president Donald Trump's lawyers called the top-secret documents found by government officials in his Mar-a-Lago home.
And in a posting on his computer network site, Trump made repeated references to the documents as if he did, in fact, have them in his possession after he left the presidency. In the past he has denied having them.
This despite federal law that stipulates government documents remain government property and do not belong to a president, either in or out of office.
But comparing top secret government documents to an "overdue library book" has only drawn angry laughs from Americans who hear that defense.
