House Dems step up investigation into Trump's handling of sensitive records
House Democrats are intensifying an investigation into the alleged removal and destruction of sensitive presidential records by former President Donald Trump and his inner circle.
House Oversight Committee Chair Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y) is asking the National Archives to provide information about top Trump advisers’ discussions about preserving and storing White House records — amid growing evidence that they repeatedly ran afoul of record-keeping requirements for documents and social media accounts.
“The American people deserve to know the extent of what former President Trump did to hide and destroy federal records and make sure these abuses do not happen again,” Maloney said in a statement.
Maloney is asking National Archivist David Ferriero to detail by March 10 the contents of 15 boxes of records recovered by his office last month that had been improperly stored at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.
