Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham is not the least bit surprised about reports that Donald Trump shredded many official documents and removed others to his home when he left office in apparent violation of the Presidential Records Act.
I wasnt surprised when I saw the report, Grisham told CNN on Friday, referring to an initial story in The Washington Post. I think that whats important is this is another example of a White House and an administration that just we had no rules. We followed no rules.
Grisham also noted that the former president is a very, very paranoid man. She surmised that this fed into Trumps almost obsessive destruction of documents and confirmed the Posts reporting that he always tore everything up.
The former press secretary recalled being on a flight with Trump to the Middle East and watching him going through boxes. He put some papers in folders, signed others and ripped up the rest, she said.
