'Tremendous value': White House began storing texts last year, creating evidence cache for Democrats
About a year after President Trump took office, the White House quietly began storing text messages sent and received by aides on work phones, establishing a repository of potential evidence that Democrats could search in their impeachment investigation.
It’s unclear if Democrats will seek to acquire the texts before voting to make Trump the third president ever impeached. But if they do, the messages may contain missing evidence proving Trump tied foreign aid to Ukraine investigating Democrats. They also could exonerate him.
The White House began collecting text messages from service provider Verizon in early 2018 after overcoming technical hurdles dating to the Obama administration, multiple sources involved in technical and legal discussions told the Washington Examiner.
The messages will be released to the public as early as five years after Trump leaves office under the Presidential Records Act unless Democrats force earlier release.
