An attorney for former President Donald Trump called out what he said was a "cheap shot" from NBC‘s Chuck Todd while discussing Trump’s handling of classified documents.

During a Sunday appearance on "Meet the Press," Todd pressed Trump attorney James Trusty over Trump's handling of classified documents after leaving the White House, asking if the former president was attempting to get a settlement similar to that awarded to the estate of former President Richard Nixon for records over two decades ago.

"Does Donald Trump think he should get paid... because Nixon got paid $18 million," Todd asked.

"That's a cheap shot," Trusty responded.

At issue were statements Trump recently made comparing his case to that of Nixon, citing the Presidential Records Act and arguing that the Nixon estate was paid $18 million for records related to him while Trump's Mar-a-Lago home was raided by federal authorities amid talks for Trump to turn over documents in his possession.

"This is the Presidential Records Act. I have the right to take stuff. Do you know that they ended up paying Richard Nixon, I think, $18 million for what he had? They did the Presidential Records Act. I have the right to take stuff. I have the right to look at stuff. But they have the right to talk, and we have the right to talk. This would have all been worked out. All of a sudden, they raided Mar-a-Lago, viciously raided Mar-a-Lago," Trump said during an appearance on Fox News last week.

But Todd accused Trump's legal team of "misrepresenting the law" during his discussion with Trusty, arguing that the Presidential Records Act was passed after Nixon left office.

"Nixon has a case because a law wasn't in place," Todd said.

The Presidential Records Act, which was passed in 1978, changed how presidential records are handled, making records such as documents legally public and not the private property of former presidents. 

But Trusty argued that recent former presidents have had similar cases to that of Trump, though their handling of presidential materials was not nearly as closely scrutinized.

"Let's go more modern day, because you're right about the timing of the Presidential Records Act," Trusty responded. "Bill Clinton had multiple recordings he kept in a sock drawer, of his presidency, while in the Oval Office…. he basically said ‘hey that stays in my sock drawer, it’s personal' and NARA (National Archives and Records Administration) didn't blink."

Trusty also pointed to the case of former President Barack Obama, arguing that Obama kept "millions of documents," thousands of which were classified, in a furniture store in Illinois, something that NARA evidently did not take issue with.

"This has rotten underpinning in terms of bureaucrats being politicized followed up by an all too eager DOJ to criminalize something that is not a crime," Trusty said.

A Missouri boy has made it his mission to help bring joy to others during their Easter celebration.

Luke Flerlage, 6, has been volunteering with Alleluia Baskets in O'Fallon, Missouri, since he was three years old.

Alleluia Baskets is a non-profit that "builds community and provides joy" by providing Easter baskets for those in the community who are living at or below the poverty level, Karen Mesler, founder of Alleluia Baskets, told Fox News Digital.

Luke became involved with the organization alongside his parents in 2020, who came in to help Mesler and her team fill Easter baskets.

Luke started assembling the baskets with help from his mother, Beverly Flerlage, but by the end of his first year volunteering, he was able to start building baskets on his own, Mesler shared.

Mesler said he went home and told his parents that "he wants to help more kids smile," so Luke started finding ways to bring in thousands of supplies.

Luke father, Mike Flerlage, reached out to Mesler on behalf of Luke – sharing his desire to increase the efforts, Mesler added.

In 2022, the Flerlage family filled multiple cars worth of different toys and gifts for the baskets that would go out that year.

After that season, Luke wanted to collect even more Easter basket goodies.

Over a root beer float, Mesler and Luke devised a plan for Easter 2023.

This time, Mesler provided Luke with a box truck, and he was determined to fill the entire vehicle with supplies.

"He spoke to everyone he knew and everyone he met and said, 'I'm collecting things for Alleluia Baskets, we're helping kids smile on Easter,'" Mesler shared.

A friend of the Flerlages ran a pumpkin patch in the fall of 2022, and the proceeds from the patch were used to buy this year's supplies for Alleluia Baskets.

On March 27, 2023, the box truck arrived and with the help of nearly 50 volunteers, all 12,221 items were unloaded from the vehicle.

"It was a very sweet, beautiful act of love," Mesler commented.

Luke's parents said their kindergartner's heart is "as big as he is."

"He likes seeing [the volunteer effort] grow, getting bigger every year. And most of all it makes people happy and smile," Beverly Flerlage told Fox News Digital.

Luke already has plans for next year's basket-filling event and he's looking forward to hosting a kid's trivia night in September. All the proceeds from trivia night will go towards Alleluia Baskets, Mesler said.

"Luke's heart is in the right place, he is caring and wants to do good for others. He is conscious of the mission to bring joy to others at Easter," she added.
