The US National Archives told Congress that several former officials who worked in the White House during President Donald Trump’s tenure have yet to turn over government presidential records.
“While there is no easy way to ensure absolute accountability, we know we don’t have everything we need to do,” agency director Debra Steidel Wall wrote in a letter to Democratic Representative Carolyn Maloney, who chairs the House oversight committee. she said.
The letter, published on Friday and published on Saturday night, does not include the names of the missing employees, but states that some employees use their private e-mail accounts to conduct official transactions and do not forward these messages as required by law.
Wall said the National Archives, whose job is to preserve government records, will consult with the Justice Department to take steps to recover “illegally removed documents.”
After repeated efforts by the federal government to obtain documents deleted by Trump, the FBI searched his home in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.
In this operation, more than 10,000 documents were seized, most of which were classified as classified. Trump argued that these documents were private or protected by presidential privileges, and went to court to get them back.
