First, Trump took classified docs from the White House. Then, an 8-hour gap in Jan. 6 phone records was uncovered. Now, the State Dept can't compile a full list of gifts Trump received in office. Utter failure of transparency by the Trump administration.

WASHINGTON The State Department says it is unable to compile a complete and accurate accounting of gifts presented to former President Donald Trump and other U.S. officials by foreign governments during Trumps final year in office, citing missing data from the White House.
In a report to be published in the Federal Register next week, the department says the Executive Office of the President did not submit information about gifts received by Trump and his family from foreign leaders in 2020. It also says the General Services Administration didnt submit information about gifts given to former Vice President Mike Pence and White House staffers that year.
The State Department said it sought the missing information from National Archives and Records Administration and the General Services Administration, but was told that potentially relevant records are not available because of access restrictions related to retired records.
..................... A preview of the 2020 report was posted on the Federal Register website on Friday ahead of its formal publication on Monday..................

"Utter failure"? Only if Trump is successful in covering up whatever he is trying to conceal.

There are no consequences so why should his administration have bothered to follow any rules?
